College Program
The Albion Hurricanes FC College Program is a combination of programs, leadership and opportunities to support the ongoing goals of the talented and committed player. AHFC is committed to help our players pursue their goals and dreams by getting a quality education and continuing their playing careers at the college and professional level.
Online Player Profiles
The AHFC Player Profiles is an online system. The player profile and roster is integrated into the toolkit provided to all teams within AHFC. The Manager or Parent has the capability to enter and maintain their player's information. The system is password protected for security purposes. The player information entered is available to all college coaches nationwide and enables these coaches to easily search for candidate players.
College Bound Website
All U15-U18 teams and players have profiles available online at collegebound.albionhurricanes.org. Players can be viewed by team or by graduating class. The player's photos and profile highlights are available to all. While AHFC strives to expose our players to many opportunities, we don't want their personal information exposed to just anyone. Individual player profiles are available to college coaches through a login to our system.
College coaches, please visit collegebound.albionhurricanes.org and login using the username and password you received from our staff or team manager. If you haven't received a username and password, please call the AHFC office at 713-939-7473 to get access to this system.
