Thank you for your interest in Real Futbol Academy, a high-level youth soccer program based in Medford, NJ. We field teams and programming for all age groups between U8 (2017) and U19 (2006). Our older teams between U13 - U19 play at the highest level nationally with our top boys and girls teams playing in MLS NEXT and Girls Academy respectively, and our younger teams competing at the top levels of EDP and Acela. We are a founding member of the Mid-Atlantic Division of the National Academy League (NAL) and field both U13-U19 boys and girls teams in that league as well.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
"We believe in quality over quantity.
Developing athletes to perform at the highest level is our priority.
We're a boutique club that caters to the elite athlete." — Rusty Aaronson
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Our approach to training and player development is not what you'll find at the "other" bigger clubs. We don't believe in the one-size-fits-all approach.
Our team training sessions are customized to the talent and skill level of the athletes. A "blanket" approach to age development is not part of our coaching style or philosophy.
Our first and primary goal has always been to develop the whole athlete. After the foundation has been set, we focus on building a winning mindset. And how to handle a loss with sportsmanship.
We keep our club numbers down — for a reason. It's not about "the numbers" and more revenue.
Above all else, we want to ensure that
Real JFC stands for quality and is never diluted by quantity.
It's a balance that allows our coaches to teach and develop, which gives them more freedom to create their own training environment.
Real JFC promotes flair and coaches who think out of the box.
We teach and re-enforce technique, technique, technique not win, win, win. Winning comes AFTER proper technique and mindset are driven home session-after-session!
Although a young club, this model has proven to be successful and have allowed for various players within our club to succeed at the highest level.
We are pleased to announce that Real JFC is officially the 2nd club to join the Philadelphia Union’s “Pathway to the Pros” program. Our player first approach has allowed us to send 15 players to the Union Academy in our short existence. We are very excited to continue this partnership with one of best MLS Academies in North America.
