Keep the focus on the ball.
Train sheltered from rain, wind, and the elements. Our compact indoor setting keeps the ball and the action close, creating more opportunities for purposeful touches instead of chasing the ball across an open field.
FM ELITE · DESIGNED FOR THE PLAYER
YOUR GAME.
YOUR GROWTH.
YOUR PATHWAY.
Founded by Fredy Montero, FM Elite delivers youth soccer training for players in Redmond and the Eastside. Our FM6 methodology connects technical precision, movement, and decision-making—from a player’s first foundation to the demands of college and professional play.

BUILT AROUND YOUR PLAYER
MORE TOUCHES.
MORE ATTENTION.
PURPOSE IN EVERY REP.
The space, group size, and coaching all serve the same purpose: more opportunities to work on the details that move your player forward.
Be seen. Be challenged.
Small groups give coaches room to notice the details, offer individual feedback, and put that feedback into the very next repetition. Every session is capped at six players or fewer.
More eyes on your development.
Many sessions have two coaches working with up to six players—a 6:2 player-to-coach ratio at capacity. That means more opportunities for observation, correction, and encouragement as you train.
01 / HOW WE DEVELOP PLAYERS
INTRODUCING
THE FM6.
Six principles.
One complete player.
The core of how we train. Technique, movement, and game understanding come together in every development environment.
MOVE
Efficiently.
Build balance, coordination, and efficient movement patterns so your body supports your technique.
MASTER
The ball.
Refine first touch, passing mechanics, and ball control through focused, purposeful repetition.
SEE
The game.
Develop scanning habits and spatial awareness to recognize what is happening around you.
DECIDE
Faster.
Process information, understand your options, and choose your next action as the game changes.
EXECUTE
Under pressure.
Bring technique and decisions together at game speed, with the precision to deliver when it matters.
COMPETE
With purpose.
Train with intent, take ownership of your effort, and bring consistent standards to every session.
THE MODERN PLAYER NEEDS ALL SIX.
DIFFERENT FOCUS. SAME GOAL.
TWO ENVIRONMENTS.
ONE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM.
TECHNICAL PRECISION. YOUR TEMPO.
FM TEKKY
Using the Tekky ball by Zenith Sports, players focus on the finer details of touch, coordination, and ball control. Our least competition-driven environment creates room to repeat, adjust, and refine without the game pressure of Pathway sessions.
Players work at their own tempo while a coach challenges them to improve. One player’s pace does not dictate another’s. It is a welcoming starting point for beginners and focused technical work for experienced players.

FM PATHWAY
Fine-tune your game at game speed, under game-real pressure. Pathway sessions recreate the situations players face in matches, bringing movement, scanning, decisions, and execution together.
Small groups give coaches the opportunity to spot a detail, make a correction, and challenge the player to apply it again under pressure. The aim is to develop skills that hold up when time and space disappear.

Explore the pathwayFM Tekky gives you space to refine the detail. FM Pathway challenges you to deliver it under pressure. Players can use both environments throughout their development to keep technique sharp and bring it into the game.

Ball machines help us recreate moments of the game with consistent service, so players can work on combination play and decision-making. The coaching purpose comes first.
02 / YOUR PATHWAY
DEVELOPMENT
IS INTENTIONAL.
Every athlete starts with an assessment. Placement reflects technical, physical, and cognitive development. Progression is earned through growth, consistency, and influence—not simply a birthday or time in the program.
ASSESS
Understand the player. Evaluate technique, movement, scanning, and decision-making.
PLACE
Find the right environment. Match the challenge to the player’s development.
TRAIN
Challenge. Develop. Repeat. Bring the FM6 into purposeful training.
EVALUATE
Measure progress. Use coach feedback and FME assessments to identify next steps.
PROGRESS
Earn advancement. Raise the standard through consistency, confidence, and influence.
Within the pathway, players move from 1.0 Foundation to 2.0 Separation as they develop the habits, communication, and game influence to meet the next challenge.
