Debuting in March, 2006, the David Beckham Academy is the premier youth soccer academy in the United States, developed and designed by legendary soccer player and international icon David Beckham. The academy is modeled after Beckham's experiences at Bobby Charlton's soccer school in London, providing kids with the opportunity to play and train like a professional at the nation's soccer cathedral, The Home Depot Center.

The academy features coaches hand-picked by Beckham to work with ages eight to 15 in three- and five-day soccer camps. Beckham's legendary Manchester United FC Youth Coach Eric Harrison developed the soccer curriculum, which includes both individual and team training, speed and agility assessments, healthy living education and important life lessons that put the focus on having fun on the field.

Kids train on state-of-the-art fields and facilities, locker rooms and media room at The Home Depot Center. Internationally recognized Athletes' Performance (AP) provides kids with elite, World Cup-caliber fitness and performance testing and training as a benefit of being in the David Beckham Academy.

More information and registration for all David Beckham Academy programs is available online. In addition to the three- and five-day camps, the academy also offers a two-hour Specialized Performance Program designed to challenge individuals technically and improve speed, agility and strength. The academy also offers a special Coaches Education Program for soccer coaches at all levels, from grassroots to club coaches.
