When the YMCA no longer served our area, founders Amber Musser and Brent Harshbarger formed a youth soccer league in Callaway, FL. Panama City Adult Soccer graciously agreed to allow the league to run under their non-profit. Together, a soccer program was designed that combined the values of the YMCA with the unique needs of local players. Registration fees were lowered while players received mor
e for their money. During Spring 2008, the City of Callaway partnered with the soccer league and CALLAWAY SOCCER was born. Since then, Callaway Soccer has grown into a powerful soccer league. Embraced by the community, the league has grown to over 400 players each season. It offers recreational soccer (Callaway Youth Soccer), an academy program (Callaway Arsenal Academy) and a competitive, travel soccer club (Callaway Arsenal). In 2013, Callaway Soccer added a Soccer Tots Program (Daytime Sessions for 3-5yr olds), a Fitness Program and began offering private training sessions for small groups and individuals. In 2014 Callaway Soccer, retired its Recreational and Academy Programs, creating CALLAWAY DEVELOPMENTAL SOCCER. This program combines the training/coaching of an Academy Program with the family environment of a recreational one. At Callaway Soccer we believe the pursuit of excellence in the areas of academics and soccer helps develop maturity and self-confidence. We believe that the time a player spends with Callaway Soccer will be beneficial throughout his lifetime. The focus of Callaway Soccer is the development of the individual player. Our goal is to maximize the development of the individual through challenging programming, an educated coaching staff that adheres to high standards and first class facilities. Callaway Soccer is resolute in dedicating its time and resources to the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects of playing soccer while having fun.
