KM FOOTBALL CLUB
KM Football Club is a player-first football club for Boys and Girls U9 to U19. We are dedicated to the health and development of children and adolescents through the game of soccer. The KM Football Club was created in response to the increasingly competitive and demanding environment of youth sports; this club offers an alternative soccer experience focused on the physical and mental development of its players. KM Football Club is committed to changing the approach to youth soccer by educating the body first and bringing together physical education, biomechanics training, fundamentals of soccer technique, and the joy of the game. Success and longevity in playing soccer are dependent on creating a healthy, joyful foundation. The KM Football Club focuses on building the abilities and perspective that will support players to grow into more creative and skilled athletes.
The KM Football Club’s inaugural season will begin Spring 2020. The intended leagues and calendar are detailed below.
