DME Academy Sarasota opened the majority of league play action this past weekend with a statement across both the boys’ and girls’ programs—delivering results that highlight the club’s commitment to a winning mindset.

Boys Program Sets the Tone

The boys’ side of DME showed just how deep and competitive we are across multiple league platforms.

• 2007/08 – 2013 NAL Boys vs. Nona Soccer Academy
  Saturday was a clean sweep as the boys from the National Academy League went 6 for 6, proving themselves as one of the most complete programs in Florida over a tough club from Orlando. Most games were competitive with the 2010 boys standing out with a 13-0 win. Overall, 26 goals for, 4 against.

• 2007/08 -2013 EA Boys vs Miami Athletic and Albion 
  On Saturday, the EA squads finished 4-2 vs Miami Athletic, then followed up on Sunday with a 4-1-1 record over Albion. That combined 8-3-2 weekend is an early indication that these groups will be in the mix all season long for a nationals run in the Elite Academy League.

• Additional Boys Highlights

  • 2009 Boys White (NPL) recorded a win and a tie (1-0-1).

  • 2016 Boys Black and Blue teams both walked away victorious (3-0).

  • 2014 Boys Blue, 18 Boys, and 17 Boys (Tampa) all earned wins and recorded no losses (3-0)

In total, across all boys’ teams, DME recorded 20 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties—an incredible way to start the league season.

Girls Program Matches the Energy

Though fewer matches were on the slate, the girls mirrored the winning mentality.

• 2011 Girls Black went a perfect 2-0, outscoring the opponents 17-0.

• 2012 Girls Blue matched that with their own 2-0 weekend, outscoring the opponents 10-0.

Club-Wide Performance

When the final whistle blew on Sunday, DME Academy Sarasota stood at 24-3-2 overall, earning victories against programs including FC Sarasota, Miami Albion, Nona Soccer Academy, North Port, West Florida Flames, and Florida Premier.

More Than Wins

While the numbers speak volumes, the culture behind us is what matters most. At DME, winning isn’t a luxury—it’s the natural outcome of preparation, relentless training, and a shared vision for results.
