The Full Story
Our Mission
At FC Extra, we are committed to revolutionizing European football development in the United States by bringing a European approach to training, discipline, and player progression.
Founded by European football experts and former players Daniel Egly and Jordi van Vugt, our mission is simple: to help American players reach their full potential and elevate the standard of European football across the country.
Our program is built on the foundation of the European Football Methodology, with a strong influence from the renowned Wiel Coerver Method — a training philosophy that has shaped the development of countless elite players in Europe.
Both Daniel and Jordi, having grown up playing football in Europe, experienced firsthand the value of this approach. Now they’re bringing it to the U.S. to help players take their game to the next level.
Empowering Players Through Individualized Training
At FC Extra, we understand that
every player’s journey is unique.
That’s why we focus on individual progression — helping players enhance their skills, technical ability, and European football IQ, no matter their age or current level. Our training sessions are designed to challenge players to grow, pushing them beyond their limits while fostering a love for the game.
We use cutting-edge technology, including GPS trackers, to monitor performance and track player development. This allows us to provide detailed, data-driven evaluation reports every quarter, so players, coaches, and parents can see real-time progress and identify areas for improvement.
Building Future Stars
Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap to higher levels of competition, whether that means advancing to professional or collegiate soccer or simply becoming a better all-around player. By offering additional, high-quality training outside of traditional team practices, we ensure that every player has the opportunity to work on their game and maximize their potential.
Fostering Discipline, Fitness, and Education
At FC Extra, we believe that European football is more than just a game; it’s a way of life. Our secondary goals focus on discipline, fitness, and life-enriching education. We aim to instill the mental fortitude and work ethic required to achieve success both on and off the field. Through our training, we encourage youth players to stay focused on their goals, maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, and develop habits that will serve them throughout their lives.
Join Us on Our Mission
Our goal is clear: to make European football in the U.S. better by helping individual players grow, both as athletes and as people. We are dedicated to building a community of passionate, motivated European football players who are committed to improving their skills and reaching their dreams. If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, FC Extra is here to support you every step of the way.
