About ATLYD
We started this because too many kids in Atlanta were either priced out of good soccer coaching or stuck in programs where nobody actually coached them.
Our Story
ATLYD came out of a simple frustration: quality soccer training in Atlanta either costs a fortune or doesn’t exist in most neighborhoods. Travel clubs charge thousands a season. Rec leagues are fun, but they’re not development. And a lot of the “clinics” out there are just glorified open play with a whistle.
We wanted something different. Small groups. Real coaching. Consistent schedule. Coaches who know the kids and push them appropriately. And a price point that doesn’t shut out the families who need it most.
That’s what we built. It’s not complicated, but it works.
Who Trains With Us
Kids ages 4 and up from across Atlanta. Some are brand new to the game. Some play travel. Some just love soccer and want more touches than their school team gives them. We train out of Lynwood Park — it’s our home base, and if you’ve driven past on a Saturday morning, you’ve probably seen us out there.
What Makes This Different
Small groups. Not 30 kids and a clipboard. Our sessions are capped so coaches can actually coach.
Coaches who stay. Your kid’s coach this month is the same one next month. Relationships matter — in soccer and in life.
Real development, not just drills. We don’t run the same cone pattern every week. Sessions are planned, progressive, and built around what the group actually needs.
Injury prevention is part of the deal. We teach recovery and body care from day one. Not as a separate service — as part of how we train.
