The Miami United Academy offers young athletes the chance to grow in a professional environment while staying true to our philosophy:
better people make better players.

One Pathway. One Identity. One Goal.

Our objective is to:
• Maximize each player’s potential
• Prepare them for the next level (college, semi-pro, professional)
• Build not only better players — but better individuals

FUTURE STARS | U6 - U10

The Future Stars Program is the foundation of the Miami United FC development pathway. Designed for young players typically between 4 and 10 years old, this stage introduces the game in a structured, fun, and engaging environment.
At this level, we focus on building:

• A genuine love for the game
Training sessions are age-appropriate, dynamic, and carefully designed to create a positive first experience in football.
Future Stars is not just about learning the game — it is about falling in love with it.
While age is a guideline, placement is always based on individual development and readiness. As players grow, they have the opportunity to progress into the next stages of our academy.
