Training Young Players and Preparing Them for Competitive Matches
Established in 1983, the Ancient City Soccer Club became a cornerstone of youth athletics in Northeast Florida. It fosters a love of soccer among children aged four and above. With a mission to train young players and prepare them for competitive matches, the club developed a comprehensive approach to youth soccer, emphasizing skill development and sportsmanship.
The club offers three programs to meet its participants' needs and abilities: The competitive Program, The Academy Program, and The Recreational Program. The Competitive Program is ideal for those seeking a higher level of play, focusing on advanced training techniques and strategic gameplay. Players in this program compete in league matches against other clubs, allowing them to test their skills and gain invaluable experience in a competitive environment.
In contrast, the Academy Program bridges recreational and competitive soccer, providing young players with structured training emphasizing skill development and a deeper understanding of the game. This program is designed for those who aspire to take their game to the next level.
Finally, the Recreational Program caters to children new to the sport. This program emphasizes fun and enjoyment, allowing participants to learn the basics of soccer in a supportive and low-pressure environment. Through engaging practices and friendly games, children develop their skills at their own pace while forming friendships with their teammates.
Organizing Community Events and Enriching Sports Experiences
The club hosts regular events, including tournaments, community gatherings, and family days, strengthening bonds among players, coaches, and parents. These events and sports experiences cultivate a supportive network that encourages teamwork and collaboration.
Mission Statement
