U9 Pre-Academy
Our coaches at Nashville Futbol Club are seasoned professionals, well-versed in different global soccer strategies. They conduct regular training sessions, focusing on enhancing your child's technical skills and game intelligence. The techniques they impart are part of our unique 'Integrated Soccer Style,' which incorporates a mix of Brazilian/Latin, Guardiola-inspired, and English-style counter-attack methodologies.

U10 Pre-Academy
In the U10 Academy, our players will continue their collective training journey, further building upon the concepts introduced in the previous level. The emphasis on ball touches during practice sessions remains high, enabling players to refine their skills. Additionally, we aim to incorporate more team concepts, encouraging combination play and defensive support. The format of 7 vs. 7, with one goalkeeper and six field players, will continue, providing an ideal environment for players to showcase their skills. Similar to the U9 Academy, the U10 Academy's games and tournaments will primarily take place in the Middle TN area.

U11 and U12 Academy
As players progress to U11, our focus shifts towards individual player development within a 9 vs. 9 format. Coaches will introduce players to different team shapes, helping them comprehend the tactical consequences of each. At the U12 level, Nashville Futbol Club players experience a pivotal year as they may transition to 11 vs. 11 games. This expansion in field size presents new challenges and opportunities for growth. Combination plays and touches, inspired by the concept of "Rondo," will be heavily emphasized, preparing players for increased competitiveness and participation in state tournaments.
