Dayton Futbol Academy U7 - U19 Club Mission

The Dayton Futbol Academy  U7 - U19 Club mission is to offer the best facilities, coaching and playing environment for all players.

Philosophy

Player development; improve each and every player on the principles of play. Creating the right environment that provides elements essential for a well-rounded player is a major goal at Dayton Futbol Academy. The development of a soccer player is a process in which players progress gradually from a simple to more complex involvement in the game. It’s a long term process that focuses on the holistic approach of the player. Players should always compete at a level that is both challenging and demanding in order to foster improvement.

Fees that are fair and affordable and a financial aid program for families in need.

The Premier level teams will compete in leagues that require less travel and focus on player development while helping players who may not be as committed as an elite player. These Premier players may want to pursue making their school teams.

Our Premier level teams consist of a diversified group of players; each player having a different need but all looking to improve their overall development with a less demanding schedule. Our focus will be to continue to improve all technical aspects of the game and gradually understand how to use those skills in pressure situations through training and games.
