About DMV Elite Academy

DMV Elite Academy is built on the belief that every player deserves a pathway to excellence, no matter where they start. Our academy is structured into two comprehensive tiers that reflect our long-term development model:

1. Development Program

Designed for young and early-stage players, this program focuses on:

• Mastering the basics: ball control, dribbling, passing, shooting

• Understanding game intelligence and positional awareness

• Building mental resilience, teamwork, and love for the game

• Learning discipline, respect, and leadership

• Age-appropriate drills, fun competition, and consistent growth

2. Elite Program

A performance-driven platform tailored for advanced and high-potential players who are serious about taking their game to the next level. The Elite Program provides:

• Position-specific training & advanced tactical education.

• Strength & conditioning, injury prevention, and fitness tracking

• Competitive matches, highlight games, and tournament exposure.

• Scouting opportunities through our FIFA-licensed agents

• Trials and pathways with pro academies and colleges

Our Difference

What sets DMV Elite Academy apart is our holistic approach to development. We don’t just train players — we build athletes and future professionals.

• Our coaching staff is led by a UEFA-certified Technical Director with international experience.

• We conduct Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) to educate families on how to support player growth at home — including nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and rest.

• We track each player’s performance, effort, and growth over time through individual development plans (IDPs).

• Our connections to scouts, agents, and clubs give real opportunities to players ready for the next level.

Each training session is structured to push players physically, mentally, and tactically.
Sessions include:

• Agility and conditioning drills to build speed and endurance

• Game-scenario exercises that translate directly into match-day decision-making

• Stretching and recovery routines to reinforce discipline, reduce injuries, and instill professionalism from the start

At DMV Elite, we train with purpose and precision, ensuring every minute on the pitch builds toward something bigger.
