The ACDMY was born from our shared belief that individual

player development

should be prioritized above all else.

The ACDMY is a youth soccer club built on the foundation of a shared vision between Coach Carlos Recinos and Coach Juan Preciado, who first met at the age of 10 while playing for the same independent team. Over the years, they recognized a need for a more holistic approach to player development, focusing not just on tactical models but also on technical, physical, and psychological growth.

Driven by a passion for developing individual players, they teamed up to create The ACDMY, aiming to provide high-level training to young athletes across Houston, regardless of background or team status. The idea to start The ACDMY came during private training sessions when they realized their coaching styles complemented each other. A suggestion from a player's parent sparked the idea that led to launching the club.

From the start, their mission has been to instill values of aspiration, creativity, dynamism, and mindfulness, while nurturing youth development both on and off the field. With Coach Carlos’s vast experience and strong connections throughout the city, his training methods—refined through years of coaching—are designed to prioritize individual player growth. Complementing this, Coach Juan brings advanced technical expertise, helping players sharpen their skills and adapt strategically against various opponents.  Together, their complementary strengths form the foundation of The ACDMY's comprehensive approach to player development.

Over the next 5 to 10 years, The ACDMY strives to be recognized as Houston's leading club for player development, with many of its athletes advancing to higher levels, whether in college, professional academies, or beyond. As the club grows, its focus remains on upholding a high standard of coaching while helping players not only excel in soccer but also cultivate life skills such as discipline, confidence, and determination.

The ACDMY aims to leave a lasting legacy as the club that redefined player development, providing a supportive and impactful environment where young athletes can flourish both on the field and in life.

We want The ACDMY to be the academy you want your kids to be a part of!
