”We develop soccer players to their fullest potential by providing the best soccer training in Greater Cincinnati.”
Our program will give our qualified and experienced staff more contact with your child and also give your child a more developmentally sound option to recreational and select soccer programs.
What are the benefits to your child?
It has been statistically proven that kids who are having fun and are given the chance to participate in a sport with friends want to play more and tend to stay active in the sport they choose. Our YDA gives your child the chance to make new friends while still getting to play for their local team and those friends.
Our program gives every player the opportunity to train in a professional environment without the pressures of league standings and game results. The results in an environment where each child gets to develop at their own pace and have fun while doing it. This a benefit no other training program in this area offers.
STAFF
The YDA training staff is unparalleled at developing the most technically savvy players in Greater Cincinnati. Overseen by Russell Lewis, our coaches will implement a curriculum specifically designed for the psychomotor and psychological limitations of the youth player.
Location
The YDA is hosted at the CHFC training complex on Kellogg Ave. at the Four Season’s Marina.

Building Blocks - The Foundation for Future Success
Started in Fall 2005, The Youth Development Academy was a natural progression from our fall U8 clinics and U9/U10 training methods. It is the foundation of Hammer FC with a curriculum aimed at instilling a "Passion for the Game" and developing each child’s technical, psychomotor and psycho-social skills.
All training is based on instilling a foundation of technical proficiency for future successes. We place a high priority on teaching players dribbling moves to beat a defender, completing passes, and receiving the ball with direction and deception.
U6-U9 Academy
Hammer FC does not form teams at U6 or U7; however, many of our players do participate in local rec leagues. At this age, the Youth Development Academy is not meant as an alternative to recreational soccer, rather it is meant to compliment the local leagues by providing a higher standard of training by our professional staff coaches to prepare players for select soccer without the pressures associated with select soccer at such a young age.
U9 players not yet wanting to join Hammer FC teams may also join this program.
The curriculum focuses on skill development using small-sided games of 1v1 and 2v2. Each player will have hundreds of ball touches every session.
