We provide personalized soccer development for athletes that demand more than the big box store experience.

Tryouts for 26/27
DME ACADEMY TAMPA IS HOSTING TRYOUTS ON MAY 2nd & MAY 3rd
We ended up proving A LOT in the 25/26 season. This season was all about proving that we didn’t need a BIG CLUB structure to turn heads and make a name for ourselves. Although we had a successful season winning games, it was always about individual development. Are the kids developing good habits, character, technical ability and game IQ?
Our players did.
Our boys, a mixture of 2017/18s are currently a top 20 team in the state (2nd best Tampa team through Rankings app) currently sitting at the top of the WFPL Top U9 bracket.
Our girls, also a mixture of 2015/16s are currently #7 in the state, and have signature tournament wins such as Dimitri Cup.
All of that wouldn’t have mattered playing a bad brand of soccer. This was while trying to play a brand of fútbol that one can respect.
