The academy’s mission is to focus on developing the individual skills of its athletes so those skills can be used in a team environment, while encouraging work ethic, technical ability, tactical awareness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. It states that it strives to create an environment for players to grow as athletes and strive for success in all aspects of life, and to make soccer the preeminent sport in South Florida through diverse programs and enriching experiences.

The leadership team includes Juan “Lolo” Abarca (Direct: 561-386-2254). The staff has an extensive background of working with and alongside some of the top players in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, and Chile.

Colo Colo Soccer Academy USA describes itself as a training program for dedicated young soccer players who want to master the game, with training designed specifically for each player to build the foundation for a successful soccer career. The program caters to youth who do not yet have the technical abilities to make the travel program and is focused on soccer development of both boys and girls, regardless of individual skill level. It states that it provides a fun, safe, and healthy game of soccer for kids at every level through club-based programs that serve players from recreational beginnings to accomplished athletes at the highest national youth levels. The academy offers exceptional training programs for players of all levels at multiple Florida locations, including personalized coaching that caters to each player’s individual needs, a UPSL program for players seeking to play soccer at a semi-professional level within the United States, and an international scouting program that creates possibilities for athletes to participate in soccer abroad.

As an affiliated state organization of US Youth Soccer, Colo Colo Soccer Academy USA provides local and national play, access to the Olympic Development Program, and US Soccer Federation coaching education licenses.

Parent feedback includes comments that Coach Lolo’s work with 8-year-olds who have never played is “absolutely incredible,” that he “makes it safe but with discipline” and “plays with them the whole time,” and that children as young as 4 and 8 participate year-round. Other parents say their children “love Colo-Colo,” describe the coaches and team as “great,” and note that the trainings “really help them to get better” and that tournaments are “very well organized” and get the boys excited about game day. One parent reports “tremendous improvement in ability and stamina” and says the coaches “work hard and have a great time doing so.” Another parent calls it “a real and good soccer academy” for children and expresses strong support for the program.
