Philosophy

Here at Xeneizes MD Soccer Academy we believe in long term player development.
Players will get better individually throughout the seasons, which will help the team, itself, improve.
We like to focus on the quality of the players when playing a match rather than looking at the winning side.

“IF THE PLAYERS PLAYED WELL, AND THEY PLAYED AS A TEAM, THEN THEY ARE ALREADY WINNERS!”
