New Soccer Club Debuts in Brookhaven

BROOKHAVEN, GA — Brookhaven FC, a new year-round soccer club, is debuting this summer, with leagues available for kids of all ages.

In August, Brookhaven FC will kick off its recreational and elite soccer programs, and registration is still open. Executive Director Jon Akin is a 35-year soccer veteran who has spent 21 years coaching soccer at the club and collegiate level.

Akin has developed seven customized programs to make sure everyone is included.

“Soccer offers the fundamental building blocks to be successful, which is what we’re trying to do with Brookhaven FC,” said Akin. “The club revolves around the community, character and soccer.”

Additionally, the club will offer a one-of-a-kind developmental training school for individuals and teams looking to enhance and improve players’ technical abilities. The Soccer School of Excellence provides players the opportunity to fine-tune their techniques, tactics and knowledge of the game in a group environment.

Training is a supplement to the players’ club team and will be offered in six-week sessions throughout the year. Training is held on the Oglethorpe University campus in Brookhaven.

Brookhaven FC reached out to Black Bear Design to develop a new website for the club, one that would readily provide information about the programs, easy registration, and a quick overview of the club’s mission. The website they developed is dynamic and mobile-responsive allowing parents and players to navigate with ease. The site is consistent with one of the main values of the club, which is communication to players and parents.
