Our Story
MES QUE UN CLUB!
Methodology
Atletico players play a modern brand of futbol which promotes frequent decision making and execution opportunities so that players can become intelligent players that are able to be successful in any environment. This is done by frequently play games in training instead of doing drills all practice. Players are able to understand how the game is played at the highest possible levels.
Athletico's Rise
Recently, the global market has taken notice of Atletico and it’s program with top academies inviting players to travel to Europe to train in professional academy environments. With the help of Bellevue Youth Soccer and Washington Youth Soccer, we are provided with operational infrastructure to make this dream a possibility. FC Barcelona contributes money each year and we staff the summer camps
Our Staff
Our staff have one mission in mind – provide modern teaching on a global standard – to every player possible – regardless of race, community, culture and other socio-economic variables.
