Welcome to the FC Dayton Pre-Academy Program!


At FC Dayton, we believe in starting young and nurturing a love for soccer from the earliest ages. Our Pre-Academy Program is designed specifically for boys and girls aged 2 to 5 years old, offering them a fun and engaging introduction to the beautiful game.


Program Structure:

For children aged 2 to 4 years old, we offer once-a-week training sessions. Led by our experienced coaches, these sessions focus on developing fundamental skills such as dribbling, passing, and coordination in a playful and supportive environment. Through age-appropriate activities and games, our youngest players begin to build a strong foundation for future soccer success.


For 5-year-olds, we provide a more comprehensive experience. These players train once a week with our coaches, where they continue to refine their skills and learn new techniques. Additionally, they participate in inter-squad games every other week, giving them the opportunity to apply what they've learned in a game-like setting. These friendly matches foster teamwork, sportsmanship, and a deeper understanding of the game.


Benefits of the Pre-Academy Program:


  1. Skill Development: Our program focuses on developing basic soccer skills in a fun and supportive atmosphere, setting the stage for future growth and success on the field.
  2. Socialization: Children have the chance to interact with their peers, building friendships and teamwork skills that extend beyond the soccer field.
  3. Physical Activity: Engaging in regular physical activity at a young age promotes healthy habits and active lifestyles for years to come.
  4. Introduction to Competition: For 5-year-olds, inter-squad games provide a gentle introduction to competition, helping them learn valuable lessons about sportsmanship, resilience, and teamwork.
  5. Qualified Coaching: Our coaches are experienced in working with young children and are dedicated to creating a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all participants.
