Why should I register for Beach FC's  Academy program? 

Beach FC has been the leader in the youth soccer community since 1982.

We work to create an environment where the player is central to the learning process in order to develop a highly motivated, well-rounded, socially balanced and Intelligent person who works to excel at playing soccer.

We believe in the long term, individual player development where the player drives his or her own development.

We engage our coaches to awaken and nurture each player’s talent. We believe that by working together with the player to create individually motivated, short and long term goals with high but achievable expectations, the player will fulfill his or her potential in soccer.

We play with an energetic, high tempo and exciting style where we clearly express a love of dominating ball possession. Out of possession, we don’t want to spend a lot of time defending. We high press to regain possession quickly.
