We’re excited to announce that DME Academy is bringing club soccer programming to Daytona for the 2026/27 season! Building on the momentum and proven success of our club soccer initiatives in Sarasota and Tampa, this new chapter in Daytona will offer aspiring athletes a taste of DME Academy and benefit from our growing Academy, shared resources, commuter and full time academic offerings and international pathways.

The new Daytona club soccer program will officially launch in April/May 2026, with tryouts scheduled ahead of the Fall 2026 season. We’ll host a serious of ID clinics as early as Fall of 2025 and run informational sessions on campus throughout the year for interested players and families.

At the heart of this launch is our state-of-the-art DME campus, which will serve as the home base for our Daytona club teams. Athletes will have access to:

• Professional-grade turf fields with lighting for optimal training and matches, day or night

• An on-site performance gym, where players will benefit from personalized strength and conditioning programs

• Recovery and performance analysis tools to help reduce injury risk and improve play

• Expert coaching from staff experienced in developing talent at the club, collegiate, and professional levels

• Indoor, futsal training when weather cancels outdoor activities

• Optional academic options for our day school/commuters

“We’ve successfully launched Sarasota, kicked off our Tampa location with a few teams this season, and are gearing up to bring Daytona online next season. As we strategically scale across Florida we’re finding that people are drawn to what we’re building. We simply offer more, and in a world dominated by the big-box mentality, that’s a refreshing change.” – Jared Antista,

“Bringing club soccer to Daytona opens up so many new opportunities for the families in our area. Now even more athletes can get a taste of the life at DME for motivated student-athlete. With access to our top trainers and facilities, we can expedite player growth, in fact, that is our speciality. For those that want more, we have commuter and boarding academic options giving everyone the opportunity to train the DME way.” Dan Panaggio
