OUR STORY

The two leading youth soccer clubs in DeKalb County, NIFC and KVSC united together in 2022 and joined forces with DeKalb County United to create the DKCU Academy.  We are driven by the love of the game and the desire to share it with the youth of the region.  We provide a comprehensive player development pathway from U8 to college, semi-pro, and beyond.  DKCU Academy has professional coaches with USSF B-D licenses, current NCAA Division 1 coaches, and experts in technical skill development to ensure each player reaches their full potential.
