At Futbol DLC, we believe that soccer is more than just a sport—it's a powerful tool for fostering holistic development in children. By integrating Montessori principles with soccer training, we create an environment where children can grow independently, build self-confidence, and develop essential life skills.
With our fun "SPARK" program, our athletes will understand all the basics of the game including: proper control of the ball, dribbling techniques, passing, shooting of the ball and overall reading of the game. Through fun and engaging activities, the athletes will grow in confidence through the beautiful sport of fútbol
Speed, Agility, Strength, Coordination and a whole lot of fun. These amazing P.E. program will enhance not only our athletes motor skills but also their cognitive and decision making skills. Whether it be teamwork or individual work, our athletes will have a blast with this Booming Athletes program.
At the heart of Montessori is the idea of child-led learning in a carefully prepared environment that encourages self-direction and exploration. This approach aligns perfectly with the skills children develop through soccer. By participating in soccer, children are encouraged to make quick decisions, solve problems on the field, and work as part of a team—all while learning to take responsibility for their actions.
Hands-On Learning
Studies show that physical activity, such as soccer, enhances cognitive development, improves motor skills, and fosters better concentration—skills essential for lifelong learning.
Hands-On Learning
According to a 2015 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, team sports like soccer improve social behavior and teamwork skills, which have a direct impact on academic and personal success.
Our experienced trainers follow a curriculum that emphasizes personal growth, technical skills, and physical fitness while respecting each player’s developmental stage.
Our approach goes beyond physical training. We focus on developing well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the emotional, social, and cognitive skills necessary for success in any aspect of life.
Our academy offers a progressive training system that allows players to develop their skills in a systematic, encouraging manner, setting them up for success in future levels of competition or recreational play.
Soccer enhances cognitive development, which can positively affect your child’s academic performance. Studies show that participation in physical activities like soccer improves memory, problem-solving skills, and concentration—key abilities for academic success. The discipline, time management, and teamwork skills learned on the field also translate to better focus and collaboration in school settings. Children who engage in soccer are more likely to develop better organizational skills and perform better academically overall.
Absolutely! At Futbol DLC, we welcome players of all experience levels. Our training programs are designed to meet each child's individual skill level, whether they’re beginners or more advanced. Soccer, like any skill, is learned progressively, and our coaches are experienced in fostering a supportive environment where every child can grow at their own pace. The goal is to build confidence, improve skills, and have fun while learning the game.
Soccer and Montessori education share several core values, such as self-discipline, problem-solving, independence, and social development. Montessori emphasizes hands-on learning, and soccer provides a perfect opportunity for children to engage physically and mentally. The game encourages decision-making, emotional regulation, teamwork, and responsibility, all of which are integral to the Montessori approach. Our soccer academy is designed to cultivate these skills in a fun, structured environment, fostering well-rounded development both on and off the field.
At Futbol DLC, we create a nurturing and positive training environment where children feel supported, respected, and encouraged to explore their potential. Our coaches prioritize individual development and focus on creating a fun atmosphere that motivates children to push their limits while feeling comfortable. We blend Montessori principles of self-directed learning with structured coaching to ensure each child grows both as an athlete and as an individual. Whether your child is learning to control the ball or mastering teamwork, they will have a safe and encouraging space to thrive.
Our personalized approach has made a real difference in the lives of students. Here’s what they have to say about their journey with us.
My son’s confidence has soared since joining the academy, and he looks forward to every practice. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about each child’s growth. I’ve seen a huge improvement in his academic focus and his ability to stay organized, and it's clear that soccer is helping him in every area of life!
Our daughter has been training at Futbol DLC for six months, and the transformation has been amazing. What I love most is how the program aligns with Montessori principles, encouraging independence, problem-solving, and personal responsibility on the field. She’s not just learning soccer; she’s learning how to manage her emotions, work well with others, and stay focused under pressure.
My son has become more disciplined and responsible, both on and off the field. The coaches are outstanding and know how to make each session engaging and fun. He’s developed so much in just a few months, and we’re excited to continue watching him grow as both a player and a person!
By incorporating Montessori principles into our soccer academy, Futbol DLC provides a unique opportunity for children to grow as athletes and individuals.
