DME Academy Sarasota is proud to support the Tampa Bay Rowdies  as we continue to build meaningful opportunities for aspiring players in our region. On April 11, we’re bringing our community together for a special DME Night at the Rowdies, where our students, athletes and families will step onto a professional stage and experience the game from a new perspective.

A Night Built for Young Players

Before kickoff, DME players will take part in a pre-game clinic on the field, training inside one of the top professional soccer environments in the country. There’s nothing quite like stepping onto a professional pitch, feeling the energy of the stadium, and preparing for a match day atmosphere. This experience gives our players a tangible connection to the next level and a reminder of what’s possible through hard work and commitment.

After the clinic, players and families will stay to watch the Rowdies take on Oakland in what promises to be an exciting USL Championship matchup. It’s a chance for our athletes to see the speed, professionalism, and intensity of the pro game up close—an invaluable learning experience for young players chasing their own goals in soccer.

Supporting a Top USL Club

The Tampa Bay Rowdies represent one of the premier clubs in the USL Championship, known for their professionalism, passionate fanbase, and strong presence in the Tampa Bay soccer landscape. At DME Academy Sarasota, we believe in supporting organizations that elevate the game and create pathways for the next generation of players.

Events like DME Night help strengthen the connection between youth development and the professional game. They allow our players to see what high-level environments look like and begin to envision themselves in those spaces one day.

Building Pathways for the Future

While April 11 is about community, experience, and celebration, it’s also about the future. DME Academy Sarasota is committed to building unique pathways and opportunities for players in our area to experience professional soccer environments in Tampa and beyond. By working alongside top clubs like the Rowdies, we aim to create more moments where our athletes can train, compete, and grow within professional settings.

This is just the beginning of what we hope will become an ongoing relationship, one that continues to open doors for dedicated players who want to push themselves and see how far the game can take them.

Join Us on April 11

We’re excited to fill the stands with DME families, supporters, and players for an unforgettable night. From the pre-game clinic to the final whistle, DME Night at the Rowdies is about inspiration, connection, and celebrating the game we all love.
