The Forward Madison FC Girls Academy provides a competitive, development-focused environment for young female athletes ready to push their game to the next level. With professional coaching, high-level training, and opportunities to compete against top regional talent, our program is built to support players as they grow technically, tactically, and personally.
As Forward Madison prepares to launch its USL W League team, the Girls Academy serves as a direct pathway for players with aspirations to reach the next level. Our goal is to develop confident, intelligent, and ambitious players who can one day represent the Flamingos at the pre-professional level and beyond.
This is where the journey begins and where the next generation of Forward Madison W League players will rise.
“It has always been our goal at Forward Madison to provide our community with growth opportunities for all soccer players in the Madison-area,” said FMFC Director of Soccer Operations and Development, Keith Tiemeyer. “As the club moves closer to establishing a presence in the women’s professional space, we feel that it is our responsibility to create an avenue for young girls to have a development pathway leading to the highest levels of women’s soccer.”
These newly formed girls’ teams will compete in the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) State League and US Youth Soccer (USYS) platforms, providing a high level of competition for aspiring young players. This initiative aligns with Forward Madison’s overarching vision to cultivate a comprehensive development pathway for local players. By creating a consistent developmental, aspirational, and progressive culture, the club aims to nurture talent and provide a clear trajectory for young female players to reach their full potential.
“We are deeply committed to providing top-tier coaching and competitive platforms that will empower these athletes to grow both on and off the field,” said FMFC COO, Conor Caloia. “The launch of these girls’ teams is a testament to our dedication to the future of women’s soccer in Madison.”
Forward Madison FC is excited to welcome talented young female athletes to be a part of this new chapter in the club’s history and to contribute to the continued growth of soccer in the Madison-area.
