At IDF, soccer is more than just a game. It’s deeper than that. The club is built on the fundamental belief that a great soccer education should prepare young people to become productive members of society. With that comes a deep sense of responsibility and a commitment to helping young people become the best versions of themselves so they can make their unique contributions to the world.
Contact UsAt IDF, players are more than just a number. We offer a holistic football education in a player-centric environment to prepare young people to excel on and off the field with Integrity, Discipline and Fearlessness.
We strive to develop the WHOLE kid because being a good soccer player isn’t enough. We want well rounded players with great values, strong character and a respect for diversity.
With our age-specific curriculum, we take a tailored approach to player development. We’ve created a challenging but enjoyable environment because for youth, fun is the only currency.
We play a possession game which means using the ball to overcome the opposition and win. Having the ball increases our chances of winning, and without the ball, the opponent can’t hurt us.

“We played with all the big clubs in the area. After years of development, time and money were wasted, we met one of the IDF coaches and were impressed with the training. Every touch mattered. We liked the respect Coach commanded from the players. We liked the continuity of coaches, players and families. We have 3 players in the program. Each year, our players had a choice; each year, they chose IDF. ”
“My son joined the team just prior to a team trip to England to train with coaches from academies of several professional teams in Manchester, Norwich and Peterborough. They even got to sit down with legendary midfielder Patrick Vieira in Manchester City Academy to talk football. But the biggest thrill was the chance to play the academy teams. One local family complemented “Your lads play football the way it was meant to be played”. The trip was a success but also a learning of the level of hard work that would be required to improve and compete at the highest levels. I highly recommend IDF to anyone looking to maximize player development through high expectations, encouragement and excellence.“
“We found IDF during a local tournament and were impressed by the quality of play on the field and the conduct of the players off the field. During our visit for a skills evaluation, we spent 20 minutes with the Director to discuss our soccer goals for our son. The Director assured us that with the right environment, commitment and hard work, these goals were attainable. Two years later, we were pleased with our son’s progress on the field. Coming to IDF was the right decision for our son. Now our daughter, an ECNL player, also trains with an IDF team.”
