"FD Football Club is the best soccer academy with an actual development plan for kids. Coaches at FD Football Club train on every aspect of the game. The training sessions are amazing, as the club follows a very rigorous, planned and elaborated training program inclusive of the fundamentals and basics of the game, as well as the technical, skill-based, and strategic aspects; unlike other academies who give coaches the freedom to coach independently and without a foundational and fundamental/ basic training program or plan.
FD Football Club truly cares about its kids and is the only academy I know that have coaches with professional soccer background, experience and licenses. The program Director, Gustavo Caraballo has a CONMEBOL license (which means he could coach any professional team subscribed to the CONMEBOL federation) and represented his country as part of the Venezuelan national team. Gustavo also played and coached in Copa Libertadores."
