Girls Elite Player Program
The IFA New England Girls Elite Player Program (EPP) fielded three teams at the Scorpions Invitational this past weekend. It was a successful event for the club capped with three titles, two runner-up finishes and a Super Group finals appearance.
New for 2025/36, the Girls EPP is for players across all regions, the teams this year included players from Metro West, Greater Boston and South Shore. For players in the U9, U10 and U11 age groups the EPP provides the first step in our girls elite development pathway. Players participate in four training events and two tournaments the Scorpion Cup, and this summer’s Copa Sol.

The 2017s went 3-0-0, scoring 13 goals and conceding just two. They beat Select South Shore 2-1, Scorpions SC RI 4-0 and New England Surf Metro Boston 7-1 to claim the title.

The 2016s matched their younger counterparts with a perfect 3-0-0 record and three clean sheets, conceding zero goals across the tournament. They beat Scorpions RI 1-0, Select South Shore 1-0 and FC Stars MetroWest 4-0.

“The Scorpion Invitational brought significant success for our EPP girls teams,” said Girls Director Charlotte Phillips. “The event highlighted the impressive level of talent within our younger age groups, whilst providing the opportunity for our players to collaborate and compete alongside fellow athletes from across different regions of the club. Our EPP teams will next compete at the Copa Sol tournament in June.,” added Phillips.

Take the Next Step with IFA
IFA has opened our environment to players who are ready to compete and train at the highest levels.
Rather than attending a traditional tryout, players are invited into a session based on their level and location. This allows players and families to experience the IFA environment firsthand through training with current teams and working directly with our coaching staff.
Following the session, our staff will outline the most appropriate pathway within the club.
