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.
By 1991 Total Football Academy · San Diego

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.
