FC Storm Academy

FC Storm Academy is a development program for boys and girls specifically designed for the U8 and U7 player. It will improve foundational soccer skills (first touch, dribbling, passing) through focused training and small sided games. Academy is conducted in a fun, positive learning environment that prepares players for select soccer.

Academy teams are formed in the fall and spring.  They are separate seasons and players have to register for each season separately.  Unlike Select Soccer, players only commit to one season at a time.

Tryouts are not required to participate in the FC Storm Academy. The program and training are designed for players (families) who are serious about working on skill development and are mentally and physically ready for more advanced training than traditional recreational soccer programs can provide.  

Players are grouped by gender.  The U7 players participate in friendly games with other select clubs.  The U8 players participate in a more formal league.  Scores and standings are not not tracked for either age group.  Teams play matches against select clubs such as Cincinnati United, Lakota FC, Cincinnati Soccer Club, Impact, Cincinnati Elite, STAR and FOSC.

FC Storm Academy hires professional trainers and experienced, licensed coaches who are selected because they love teaching soccer to young players. Academy coaches bring enthusiasm and passion that creates a wonderful environment for players to learn skills without fear of making mistakes.  Most players attend multiple seasons because they enjoy the experience.

The seasonal fee is $250.  It includes the cost of coaches & trainers, games, referees and field expenses.  Players are required to purchase a uniform that is used for training and games.  It is approximately $70.  If players play for multiple seasons, the uniform only needs to be purchased once.
