Big News: Orlando City/Pride Partnership & Fall Flag Football in Clermont!

The energy at MB Sports Academy is reaching a fever pitch. As we move into the second half of 2026, we are thrilled to announce two major milestones that reinforce our commitment to providing the highest level of athletic and personal development for student-athletes in Central Florida.

From professional partnerships that bridge the gap between youth sports and the pros, to expanding our premier flag football programs into new territories, we are dedicated to building a platform where every athlete can thrive.

A Premier Partnership: Orlando City & Orlando Pride Event (August 22nd)

We are incredibly proud to announce an official partnership with Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride for a special community event on August 22nd.

This isn't just a day on the pitch; it’s a gateway for our athletes to experience the professional standard of soccer in the United States. At MB Sports Academy, our mission has always been to provide more than just "drills." We aim to provide an environment that mirrors the professional world, and there is no better way to do that than by aligning with Orlando’s own MLS and NWSL giants.

What to Expect on August 22nd

This event is designed to immerse our student-athletes in a professional atmosphere. Whether your child is an aspiring pro or just starting their journey through our MLS GO Youth Soccer program, they will gain insights into the discipline, teamwork, and technical precision required at the highest levels.

• Professional Presence: Experience the culture of Orlando City and Orlando Pride.

• Holistic Growth: True to our methodology, this event will focus on physical skills as well as the mental fortitude required to compete.

• Community Connection: Join fellow Orlando families in celebrating the growth of soccer in our backyard.

Our Holistic Athletic Development philosophy is built on the idea that exposure to professional standards early in life helps build better habits, not just in sports, but in academics and future careers.

Announcing: Fall All-Girls Flag Football League in Clermont

The momentum for girls' flag football is unstoppable. Following the success of our NFLPA All-Girls Flag Football clinics, we are officially bringing the Fall All-Girls Flag Football League to Clermont!

Clermont has long been a hub for athletic excellence, and we are excited to plant our flags here. This league is designed for girls who want to compete in a structured, professional, and supportive environment.

Registration Details

• Location: Clermont, FL

• Registration Fee: $150

• Format: All-Girls League

• Focus: Fundamentals, Football IQ, and Teamwork

At only $150, this league offers unparalleled value. Unlike traditional recreational leagues, MB Sports Academy incorporates our signature training methodology into every practice and game. Led by our Flag Football Director, Paul Knight, our program focuses on more than just winning games: we focus on building confident, durable athletes.

Why All-Girls Flag Football?

Flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports for women, now holding sanctioned high school status in Florida and even Olympic recognition. By joining our Clermont league, your daughter isn't just playing a game; she’s joining a movement. We teach our athletes how to navigate adversity, handle success, and lead their peers.

The MB Sports Academy Difference: Holistic Growth

Whether it’s soccer in Orlando or flag football in Clermont, the "MB Way" remains the same. We believe that a student-athlete's success is determined by three pillars: Physical Excellence, Mental Wellness, and Academic Support.

1. Physical Excellence & Durability

Our training isn't about burnout. It’s about balance. We utilize a multi-sport training approach that develops fundamental movements: agility, coordination, and durability: that apply across the board. This reduces the risk of overuse injuries and keeps the "fun" in the game.

2. Mental Wellness & Mentorship

Our "Huddle Groups" are a core part of who we are. We provide mentorship that helps athletes face the pressures of competition. Through our partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), we ensure every coach is trained to build confidence rather than tear it down.

3. Academic Support

We know that for many, sports are a vehicle for education. That’s why we offer ACT Prep courses and a Sports Management Certificate program. We want our athletes to be as sharp in the classroom as they are on the field.

Building the Future of Clermont and Orlando Sports

Our expansion into Clermont and our partnership with Orlando City/Pride are just the beginning. We are committed to redefining what a "sports academy" looks like. It’s not just about the score on the scoreboard; it’s about the person wearing the jersey.

We invite all families in the Clermont and Orlando areas to join us for this exciting Fall season. Whether your athlete is interested in the technical beauty of soccer or the high-speed strategy of flag football, they will find a home here.
