Athletic Club Miami is a Miami-based youth soccer organization that pairs a Major League Soccer recreational pathway with competitive travel teams for families who want room to grow from low-pressure play into a full-year travel calendar. The club stresses lifestyle-level commitment, player development over volume recruiting, and collaboration among athletes, coaches, and parents.
The MLS GO recreational program serves boys and girls ages 3 through 12 (U4–U13) with age- and ability-grouped sessions built around small-sided games, skill activities, and Saturday games or jamborees. Families can expect about one to two training sessions per week during each eight-week seasonal block, MLS-branded kit bundles, and certified coaching in a community-oriented setting. Travel soccer is organized by birth year for the 2025/26 season (August 2025 through May 2026), with boys teams from grassroots and U8 up through U19 and girls teams through U9 in that season’s travel lineup, including grassroots groups for younger players. The club also runs seasonal camps tied to Stadio Soccer and maintains soccer school and alumni stories featuring players who have moved into elite youth and professional environments.
The nine-month travel season bundles multiple weekly touchpoints: three soccer practices, one soccer-specific speed and conditioning session, one physio therapy and injury-prevention block, one weaker-foot technical session, and a seventy-five-minute goalkeeper session with head, assistant, and goalkeeper coaches. Across the year the model targets six friendly matches, annual soccer-specific fitness testing, nine mandatory tournaments, and eleven optional tournaments families may add or skip for rest weekends. For league play, travel players are divided into A (Black) and B (Orange) match groups that train together; rotation between those groups follows weekly training attitude, work ethic, and game performance so playing time stays meaningful while competitiveness stays high.
Annual travel registration is $350 per player with a sibling discount available at checkout; that annual package is paired with uniform bundles that include four kits as part of the annual travel registration bundle. Monthly membership is $290 for a single U10–U17 player ($232 for a second or third sibling) and $261 for a single U7–U9 player ($209 for a second or third sibling), charged in nine installments with each payment dated fifteen days before the start of the membership month from August 2025 through April 2026. Tournament fees typically run about $80–$125 for local events and about $140–$170 for travel tournaments that require hotel nights. MLS GO recreational enrollment is $145 per eight-week seasonal block (fall, winter, spring, and summer windows) with no monthly billing for that short-season format.
Regular outdoor training for the 2025/26 season centers on Sunset Park Elementary at 10235 SW 84th Street, Miami, Florida 33173, and Little Haiti Soccer Park at 6301 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33138. Summer MLS GO sessions also use the indoor setting at Stadio Soccer, 571 NW 73rd Street, Miami, Florida 33150, which doubles as the camp hub for summer, winter, and spring camp programming.
Athletic Club Miami treats soccer as both disciplined training and creative self-expression, aiming to deepen belonging among players, coaches, and families while favoring long-term education over quick roster churn. Daily values include discipline, teamwork, and innovation, with emphasis on resilience, sportsmanship, and character that extend beyond the field. MLS GO prioritizes enjoyment and learning through play, while travel layers in the intensive weekly support model, tournament travel, and performance-based rotation between the A and B match groups.
MLS GO families enroll through TeamSnap. Travel families use TeamSnap for the annual registration package (including the uniform bundle) and for the nine-month membership installment plan. Players who are not carded with another Florida youth soccer club may attend tryouts throughout the season; travel tryout sign-up walks families through birth-year team placement and the correct small-sided or full-sided format for each age band. For staff-specific questions, the contact directory names directors and specialists with direct phone numbers where provided.
