FC Way Soccer was established to bring high-quality youth soccer development to Port Charlotte and the surrounding communities. Built on the proven training philosophy of DC Way. FC Way Soccer delivers structured, intentional programs designed to help players improve both on and off the field.
Our mission is simple: to develop confident, disciplined, and technically sound players in a positive and professional environment.

Our Summer Camp is offered for childred ages from 3 to 12 years old

At FC Way, we’re dedicated to helping your child grow both as a soccer player and as an individual. Whether your child is just starting or already has experience, each class is designed to introduce new skills, from soccer fundamentals like passing, receiving, and small-sided games to important life lessons.

We focus not only on physical development but also on mental skills—helping your child build emotional intelligence, responsibility, self-confidence, and healthy habits through the game. Every session is a chance for your child to improve, have fun, and gain new skills that will serve them both on and off the field.

At FC Way, we focus on developing the whole child—physically, mentally, technically, and socially—through the game of soccer.

• Physical Skills: Your child will improve their speed, strength, balance, agility, and overall coordination. These foundational skills not only make them better soccer players but help them stay active and healthy.
• Mental Skills: Soccer teaches more than just the game—it instills teamwork, leadership, communication, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Our programs emphasize the importance of hard work, integrity, and the value of perseverance.
• Technical Skills: From ball control and dribbling to passing, shooting, and more, our classes help children build the technical expertise needed to succeed on the field.
• Life Skills: Beyond the soccer field, we also focus on developing key life skills that children can carry with them throughout their lives. These include self-confidence, responsibility, goal-setting, and problem-solving. We teach young players how to handle success and failure gracefully, manage their emotions, and work well with others, all of which will help them in sports and in everyday life.

Our holistic approach ensures that your child not only grows as an athlete but also develops into a confident, well-rounded individual.

Players 6 years or older are encouraged to wear shin guards and soccer cleats to training. Players younger than 6 years should wear tennis or athletic shoes (cleats are not needed). We encourage all participants to bring plenty of water. Camp participants should also bring lunch and snacks and a hat.

At FC Way, we welcome players of all skill levels! Whether your child is just starting their soccer journey or has been playing for years, our summer camp program is designed to support players at an level! No matter where your child is on their soccer journey, we are here to guide them and help them grow!
