Tampa Dynamo Returns for Another Southampton FC Partnership
Tampa Dynamo in Florida, USA are returning as an International Academy Partner and we are looking forward to working with them again. The move will see us support coaches and players with access to our world class player development camps, offering them the chance to experience and learn The Southampton Way through our academy coaching framework.
We’re delighted to announce that we have another American International Academy Partner joining our portfolio of International Academy Partners.
Tampa Dynamo is a forward thinking club, looking to engage and give regular opportunities to players in Florida, and through continuing this partnership, they hope to develop their coaches to improve player development.
Through visits from our world renowned academy coaches, as well as online resources, we’ll be sharing knowledge and expertise with the team at Tampa Dynamo, while learning from their experiences too.
We’ll be providing access to our Saints curriculum, online resources and coach education webinars to support Tampa Dynamo as it continues its impressive progression in the state.
Ed Kilby is our Football Development Coordinator and said this of the partnership: “We’re delighted to welcome Tampa Dynamo FC back to our portfolio of International Academy Partners at Southampton FC (SFC). Having worked with Tampa Dynamo FC in recent seasons, they are a forward-thinking and innovative football organisation that share an aligned approach of nurturing players and coaches across their football programme. Through this partnership, Tampa Dynamo FC players, coaches and families will have access to Southampton’s knowledge and resources in player and coach development, which will be delivered through ongoing workshops and training sessions. We also look forward to welcoming our first group of Tampa Dynamo FC players to Southampton in 2025 as they embark on a player development experience, showcasing first-hand ‘The Southampton Way’. Overall, this partnership between Southampton FC and Tampa Dynamo FC represents a truly exciting chapter in the development of youth football in the Florida region”.
When asked about the exciting new partnership, Chris Farnworth, Executive Director of Tampa Dynamo F.C., who has played a pivotal role in reshaping the club’s culture and vision over the past four years, shared his enthusiasm:
“We are deeply honored to be a part of the Southampton F.C. and the “Southampton Way”! There is so much more to this beautiful game I grew up playing than how many games you win a season at U10 or how many tournaments a team competes in a season. Being able to deepen a player’s love and passion for the game no matter their current skill level is what truly excites me to be a part of Dynamo. Every player in our organization, in one way or another, will benefit from this international partnership and not just for the next 12 months but for years to come!”
