Why Hundreds of Maryland Families Choose LMFC
Season After Season

Not all soccer clubs are the same. Here is what makes LMFC the clear choice for families who want more than just a jersey.

What Sets Us Apart

FIFA PRO Licensed

Coaching Your child learns from a coach with the highest available soccer license in the world — the same caliber of coaching found at professional clubs in South America and Europe. No other club in this region offers this.

Mental Performance

Training Coach Montes is Psychotherapist. At LMFC, mental training is not an add-on — it is built into every session. We help players overcome fear, build confidence, and develop a winner's mindset.

Global Network & Exposure

LMFC is connected to a global network of professional teams and academies worldwide. High-potential players receive direct pathways to collegiate scholarships and professional tryouts.

Convenient Locations

Train in Olney, Silver Spring, North Potomac, or Gaithersburg. We are close to where you live so your child never misses a session.

Family-First Culture

Culture We promote God — Family — Sports. At LMFC, every parent is treated as a partner in their child's development. We are a community, not just a club.

College & Career Pathways

We actively monitor player development and report to college recruiters throughout the season, giving your child a real shot at a scholarship.

Frequently asked questions

Evaluations run year-round! We review all players and give honest, professional feedback. We anticipate accepting 100–120 players per season. Simply call or text 301-500-7191 to schedule your child's evaluation.

We welcome boys and girls ages 5 to 18 across all skill levels — from beginners to elite competitive players.

LMFC Academy teams train 2 times per week. Sessions are structured around age-appropriate curriculum with thematic training designed to progressively develop skills. League games are held on Saturdays in Maryland, and tournament schedules vary by team.

We currently compete in: NPL (National Premier League), CPSL (Chesapeake Premier Soccer League), EDP, EDP Showcase, NCSL (National Capital Soccer League), and MDSL (Maryland Soccer League). Tournament participation is on a team-by-team basis.

We have convenient training locations in Olney, Silver Spring, North Potomac, and Gaithersburg — all across the Maryland suburbs.

This is one of our most important philosophies. We believe that standings matter more to parents than to developing players. When children play for standings alone, they adopt a fear-based mentality rather than a creative one. At LMFC, we build creativity, confidence, and skill — and the wins take care of themselves.

Absolutely. LMFC monitors and reports player development to college recruiters throughout the season. High-potential players also receive position-specific elite training and access to our global network of academies and professional clubs.

Customer Opinion

The transformation in my sons’ game since training with Coach Montes has been incredible. The practices are well planned, focusing on technical skills and “soccer thinking”. You do not see that in all programs. I’ve watched my sons’ confidence skyrocket under the guidance of Coach Montes as well as the positive reinforcement they receive from their fellow LMFC teammates.
They each play for different age-appropriate teams and coach is able to tailor practices to each age level. My boys have leveled up their teamwork and individual skills under the incredible influence of Coach Montes. I feel so lucky to have a coach who puts this much of heart and preparation into each practice session. If you are looking for a coach, who actually teaches the game, LM FC is the place to be!
