Youth Development Program
Philosophy
Naples United FC is the only professional soccer club located in Naples,
Florida. Our players grow in skill, confidence and strength, aspiring to
begin their soccer career here in Naples, if they dream to do so!
Our club was founded under the principle of making Naples United FC
part of the community, make it an avenue of development and opportunity
for our youth. While at the same time, bring the excitement and
enthusiasm of watching your hometown being represented in the field;
building a stronger, healthier, happier, safer and more united community.
Our goal is to, through our academy, put at the disposal of our youth
the material and human resources of our pro team. Our main focus being
individual development within a professional and high performance
environment.
We develop the entire person, not just the soccer player. This is possible
by a closer, more personal culture. We follow a foundation, to live
and train by the Academy values, known as the 3 Hs; Honesty, Humility,
Hard Work.
From the U5, all the way to our pro level; our staff does not see our
club as different teams, but as a group of players following one
curriculum, pathway and spirit.
The graphic below shows our desire to engage with our youth at many
different levels. Our older Academy players will be exposed to semi-pro
and pro training as preparation for University and Professional soccer.
Wherever your child is on their athletic and/or soccer path, we have
programs to enhance their individual development and love for the game.
