Funding Is Not a Level: How PCA and Charter Funding Work at 1991

A parent guide to using PCA or charter school funding for 1991 DAYSHIFT — and why the way you pay never decides where your player trains.

Many 1991 DAYSHIFT families use PCA or other charter school funding. Others pay privately. At 1991, that choice is only a payment method. Funding never determines a player's level, pathway, or placement.

Why funding and level are kept separate

Every DAYSHIFT player starts with a placement decision made by a 1991 coach, not a parent-selected level. ASCEND is the development pathway and APEX is the performance pathway. PCA, other charter, and private-pay families go through exactly the same placement, and 1991 stores funding type separately from player level.

How charter enrollment works

  • Submit a DAYSHIFT placement request and select PCA or your charter school as the funding type.
  • Find 1991 Total Football Academy in your charter school's approved vendor directory and submit your funding request.
  • Your school reviews and approves the request. Once 1991 receives the purchase order, enrollment is confirmed.
  • A 1991 coach places your player in ASCEND or APEX based on assessment.
  • You receive your schedule, forms, and onboarding before the first DAYSHIFT morning.

What to know before you apply

  • No pricing is displayed and no payment is collected on the 1991 website for charter services.
  • The school pays 1991 directly as an approved vendor, not the parent.
  • Enrollment depends on school approval, placement, and capacity.
