The FM6.

At FM Elite, development is intentional. Training is built around six principles the modern player needs to consistently impact the game. The FM6 is the core of how we train.

  1. Move
  2. Master
  3. See
  4. Decide
  5. Execute
  6. Compete

The FM Elite advantage.

Development here is not guesswork. It is a guided, measurable Player Development Pathway with clear steps to progress, earn opportunities and reach the next stage.

  1. 01

    Development that translates

    Sessions are designed around decision making, spatial awareness and game real intensity.

  2. 02

    Track. Train. Level up.

    Four sessions over five weeks unlocks your ability to train with the next group up. The pathway is real, and it works.

Placement is intentional.
Advancement is earned.

At FM Elite, we measure.

Technology accelerates growth and removes wasted training. It makes development transparent, so every session counts.

  • A coach holds a phone running the 2VICTA control app at the side of the turf

    Ball repetition

    2VICTA Training System

    Unmatched ball repetition with consistent spin, speed and flight, so players train at game real tempo with real decisions to make.

  • A training goal with the Fredy Montero Elite Soccer Training mark across the net

    Cognitive development

    ISOTechne

    Helps athletes improve touch, timing, speed of play and decision making under pressure.

  • Fredy Montero talks with two coaches, one holding a clipboard, during a session

    Every month

    FME Player Assessments

    Monthly feedback across physical, technical and cognitive metrics. It shows exactly where progress is happening and where to focus next.

  • FM Elite Methodology+ 2VICTA System+ ISOTechne= game changing results

    A high time on task environment that is intense, measurable and effective.

Adaptive. Challenging. Always evolving.

We don't run fixed drills. We run a program.

Each session is designed to evolve with the athlete, not around a static template. Training adapts week to week with evolving game scenarios, cognitive constraints and biomechanics driven progressions.

Technology is one part of the equation. Our people are the difference. Our coaches are FM Certified developers, trained in our own methodology, and they are equipped to:

  • Identify gaps in a player's development
  • Close those gaps with intentional, high rep scenarios
  • Elevate strengths that translate directly to match day performance

It's not about doing more.
It's about doing it right.

Build your pathway, one session at a time.

Session bundles are built for impact and a schedule that flexes. Tell us how often you want to train and we will work out the best bundle from FM Elite's published prices.

Private note for Josh and the FM Elite team

What we need from you.

Every word, number and photo above came from fmeliteprograms.com, your Linktree and your Instagram. We did not invent anything. These are the gaps we found along the way.

  1. Your site still says training is hosted at Arena Sports on Willows Road. Your Instagram says the new home is VLF Sports Performance Center. Which address and opening date should the site show?
  2. The homepage button still reads Exclusive Summer Pricing. Are the five bundle prices current, and what does the monthly training membership cost?
  3. Session times for each of the five training days, so the day strip can show real hours and a live open today badge.
  4. One line for each of the FM6 in your own words. We only used the six words you published.
  5. Which week the 14, 12, 6 and 1 came from, and season totals if you track them.
  6. The title Fredy wants today. The current site lists him as a current professional forward.
  7. Your Google rating and review count, plus two or three parent or player quotes you have permission to share.
  8. Group sizes and age ranges for FM Tekky, 1.0 and 2.0.

We are not going to put a number in front of you. Tell us what a site like this and a season of content is worth to FM Elite, and what the budget looks like, and we will work from there. We would rather hear you out first. If you want, we will come shoot a session at the new home and show you the other half of what we do.
