WHO WE ARE

The Training Ground is Tampa Bay’s first club-neutral soccer and futsal training facility—created for players who want to train with intention, compete at a high level, and unlock their full potential.

We serve athletes across all clubs, levels, and backgrounds who are looking for a place to sharpen their skills year-round through structured technical, tactical, and physical development.

What makes us different?
We don’t just run sessions—we develop players. Our programs are designed to provide consistent, purposeful training that bridges the gap between weekly team practices and true individual growth.

Our mission is to build game-changing players by delivering elite-level training in an environment that prioritizes quality, consistency, and character.

Through small-group sessions, futsal-focused development, and high-touch coaching, we equip every athlete with the tools, mindset, and work ethic they need to compete—on the field and beyond.

We believe in:

  • Club neutrality

  • Player-first development

  • Process over hype

  • Long-term growth over shortcuts
