  • What's the difference between Sozo FC & Academy soccer?

    SOZO FC (Club soccer) is a premier team with a paid coach, unlike our academy program, which is recreational soccer.


    Club teams offer professional coaching, demand greater training dedication, and participate in games outside their hometowns, earning them the moniker "traveling teams."


    Club coaches have often played at a collegiate or professional level and hold certifications from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). However, the increased quality of coaching and administration comes with higher fees compared to our academy soccer programs.
