FC Dallas aims to be the source in north Texas for the development of boys and girls soccer players. It is the responsibility of the professional club to invest in and ultimately develop local soccer players and coaches. As such, FC Dallas has created a development program consisting of year round soccer camps and training programs, known as the FC Dallas School of Excellence.

2008 School of Excellence Soccer Training Camps

FC Dallas offer four unique levels of development:

Training sessions are open to any player, regardless of soccer club affiliation, who is interested in improving their skills and learning proper techniques that will help overall development. These are programs offered by the professional team and therefore do not require skills releases.

FC Dallas School of Excellence programs are specifically designed for player and coaches to develop solid fundamentals of soccer in an educational, structured, energized and professional manner at one of the best soccer complexes in the country. Participants will get to spend 1-on-1 instruction time with many members of the current FC Dallas team and coaching staff. FC Dallas professional players Denilson, Juan Toja, Kenny Cooper, Bobby Rhine, Dominic Oduro, Ray Burse, Alex Yi, Dax McCarty, Drew Moor, and most of their other team mates appeared at the programs in 2007 to lend their expertise and interact with participants.

Programs sold out in 2007, so register for a program today! Spaces are limited and each camp session only has room for 60 players.
