Welcome to the Academy
Our Player Development Philosophy
We identified a significant gap in the development of young football players aged 7–15 across many clubs. Too often, youth players are not given the individual attention, structured training, and long-term development focus needed to reach their full potential.
To change this, we created a club structure inspired by the proven Dutch training methodology. Our approach emphasizes technical mastery, game intelligence, creativity, and confidence—delivered through age-appropriate training and a clear development pathway.
Talented players are given meaningful development opportunities, including international exposure and connections within the Netherlands, allowing them to experience elite football environments and broaden their growth both on and off the field.
Our mission is simple: develop complete players, not just winning teams.
Join us and be part of an innovative, player-first approach to football development.

Player Development Pathway
At Inter San Diego, every player has a pathway to grow. Our program is structured to support development at every stage—from recreational players learning the game, to competitive athletes, and ultimately to youth professional opportunities.
Recreational players who show commitment and potential are guided into our competitive program, where training intensity, tactical understanding, and performance standards increase. From there, top competitive players can progress into our youth professional pathway, gaining access to elite training, international competition, and exposure to professional environments.
This structured pathway ensures that talent, effort, and ambition are always rewarded, and that players develop at the right pace while reaching their full potential.
Start anywhere. Progress with purpose. Reach the next level.
