Why a soccer development project?

Vision
Focusing on the value of the sport and going beyond, treating players as human beings besides athletes.
Value
Our goal is to facilitate the practice of soccer in an affordable environment, we believe today’s prices in the US to play the game we love are overpriced.
Our philosophy
Every child who wishes to learn and play the sport should have access to top-notch training in a secure environment at an affordable price. Our goal is to shift the culture from a pay-to-play model to an all-inclusive “everybody plays” model. We offer options for all player types, whether they aspire to compete at the highest level or simply enjoy the game without the pressure of ultra-competitiveness.
For players who are embarking on their soccer journey, we have an option. We are transforming the soccer culture, one player at a time!
Our story
The idea of establishing a football club arose from a genuine passion for the sport. Children used to have a great time playing, which sadly isn’t possible anymore due to the exorbitant fees charged by soccer academies, particularly in the Long Island, New York area.
With this project, our aim is to make soccer accessible to everyone. We believe that financial constraints shouldn’t hinder children from experiencing the joy of the game. Therefore, we strive to create an affordable platform for young players to learn and grow
