Three Programs To Choose From
Our Programs
Ages 3 to 12, no experience needed. Every session is run by the same coaches who train our competitive teams. Not sure which one? Let us work it out.
Little Legends
$125 · 7 Weeks
Small-sided from day one — 1v1, 2v2, 3v3. More touches, more decisions. New players can start with a parent on the field until they are ready to fly solo.
Little LegendsEarly Development
$125 · 7 Weeks
Technical skill work that lines up with what we teach the older competitive groups — dribbling, turning, receiving, finishing. Built for touches, not standing in line.
Early DevelopmentMLS GO
$175 · Uniform Included
A proper league season. Train once a week as a team, then play 5v5 against other rec sides — fitted in MLS uniforms, led by our senior staff.

Which One Is Right
For Your Player?
Five questions, about thirty seconds. We will show you the program that fits and the development plan they can grow into.
Question 1 of 5
First, who are we planning for?
Pop a first name in and we will carry on.
Parents and guardians only, please. We will send the plan and the odd note about sessions — unsubscribe whenever you like.
Question 2 of 5
How old is your player?
Question 3 of 5
Boy or girl?
We ask because our competitive teams are split boys and girls, and because girls qualify for an additional scholarship.
Question 4 of 5
Where is your player at right now?
Question 5 of 5
How much soccer suits your family?

The Difference
Not Your Average
Rec Program
Most rec soccer hands a three-year-old a ball, puts a parent on the sideline and calls it development. Here is what we do instead.
Real Coaches
Sessions are led by our senior coaching staff and DME senior players — people who coach competitive soccer for a living, not volunteers.
Small-Sided, Always
1v1, 2v2, 3v3. Every format is chosen to put the ball at their feet as often as possible.
Touches Over Lines
Dribbling, turning, receiving and shooting, at high intensity. We count contact with the ball, not minutes on the clock.
Eased In, Not Thrown In
Newcomers can have a parent on the field with them until they feel comfortable. When they are ready, they go it alone.
A Rain Week Built In
Weather happens. One washed-out week gets made up, so you get the season you paid for.
A Way Up
Players who want more can move into our competitive pathway — same building, same coaches, no starting over somewhere else.
