Texas Premier F.C. teams are trained by licensed professional trainers and are managed by experienced coaches.  The common goal is the improvement of the player's physical, technical, tactical, and mental skills.  Teams train twice per week from August through May.  Most games are on weekends, with the exception of some tournament games.  Most Texas Premier F.C. teams attend 5-10 tournaments per year, some of which are out of town.

Tryouts are held each May resulting in the reformation of teams in the U11-U19 age levels.  All roster positions are open during tryouts.   Texas Premier F.C. fields teams at the highest level at which the team can be competitive.  Players are encouraged to play at their highest level to promote continued improvement.
