⚽ Millersville, MD parents: Our Minis Soccer Program for ages 3–6 starts next week—and registration is still open!
Thanks to the funds we raised, payment is optional. If your family can’t afford the fee, apply for the scholarship through the link in our bio—you will be approved. Please only claim a spot if your player will show up and play.
We’re staying true to our mission: eliminating pay-to-play in youth soccer. 💚

Here’s a caption that keeps the sarcasm from the video but turns it into a clear message for athletes and parents:

Here’s EXACTLY how I would get hurt this fall as a soccer player… 🤦‍♂️⚽️

I’d do ZERO strength training.
ZERO speed work.
ZERO mobility work.

Then I’d magically expect my body to handle a 15–20 game season, practices, and tournament weekends where I could play 5+ games. 🪄

And of course, I’d expect no groin pulls, hip flexor problems, hamstring strains, ankle sprains, knee issues, or back pain…

Sounds crazy, right?

Yet this is how a lot of soccer players approach their season.

One big reason? Athletes are scared that strength and speed training during the season will make them sore and hurt their performance.

But in-season training is NOT the same as offseason training.

💪 Offseason: Build more strength, speed, power, and fitness.

⚽ In-season: Adjust the workouts to help maintain your strength, speed, mobility, and overall athletic ability while managing your game load.

You worked all offseason to build your body. Don’t stop training it when you need it most.

Your goal shouldn’t just be to start the fall season strong. You want to finish it strong too.

Save this for your next soccer warmup! ⚽️🔥

Instead of a boring warmup, get your body, brain, AND ball touches ready at the same time.

We combined:

⚡ Ladder work for coordination and quick feet
⚽ Pass against the wall + control
🔥 Hurdle jumps
⚽ Another pass + control
🔁 Then right back into the ladder

It keeps players moving, thinking, and touching the ball before the real training even starts.

Keep in mind: this didn’t replace our dynamic warmup. We still completed a proper dynamic warmup after this to fully prepare the body for training.

Think of this as a fun technical activation before the main session.

📌 SAVE this video and try it before your next soccer training session!

POV: You’re a high school soccer player putting in extra work. ⚽️🔥

We started with band activation and a proper warmup, moved into agility work, then finished with technical soccer training in tight spaces to sharpen our touch and control.

Prepare the body ➡️ Move better ➡️ Master the ball.

We just eliminated pay-to-play AGAIN! ⚽️💚

Thanks to an incredible $5,000 donation from Courier Business Academy, we now have enough scholarship funding to cover 30+ families in our Fall Fern Athletics Minis Soccer League for U4 and U5/U6 players!

That means these kids can play FREE. 🙌

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Register for Fall Minis through TeamSnap using the link in our Instagram bio
2️⃣ Pay the registration fee to secure your child’s spot
3️⃣ Apply for a scholarship
4️⃣ If approved, we’ll refund your registration fee!

We’re doing it this way to make sure our limited spots go to families who are serious about participating.

If you don’t need financial assistance, simply register and skip the scholarship application. You can also donate any amount — big or small — to help us give even more kids the chance to play.

Any scholarship funds remaining after Minis will help support our Homeschool Soccer and Speed, Agility & Strength programs.

Our mission is simple: eliminate pay-to-play and give more kids access to high-quality coaching and sports. One program at a time, we’re making it happen. 💚

👉 Register, apply for a scholarship, or donate through the link in our Instagram bio!

🚨 $5,000 IN FALL SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE!🚨

Thanks to an incredibly generous $5,000 donation from Courier Business Academy, the Fern Athletics Foundation is able to provide $5,000 worth of full and partial scholarships to families who need financial assistance this fall! 💚

And our goal is simple:

WE WANT TO GIVE ALL $5,000 AWAY BY SEPTEMBER!

Scholarship assistance is available for:

⚽ Fern Minis Soccer
⚽ Homeschool Soccer
💪 Homeschool SAS (Speed, Agility & Strength)

How it works:

1️⃣ Click the link in our bio and register for the program you want to attend.
2️⃣ Complete the Fern Athletics Foundation Scholarship Application, also available through the link in our bio.
3️⃣ Full and partial scholarships will be awarded based on financial need, demand, and available funding.

IMPORTANT: Scholarships will be provided in the form of refunds after registration. This helps us ensure that scholarship funds are reserved for families who are seriously committed to participating. This is the same process we’ve successfully used for scholarships during previous seasons and clinics.

Payment plans are available, so families seeking assistance can still register now to secure their spot while applying for a scholarship.

Our mission is bigger than sports. We want every child to have access to quality coaching, athletic development, and opportunities to grow—regardless of what their family can afford.

💚 Don’t need financial assistance? Help another child participate.

Please consider donating to the Fern Athletics Foundation through the link in our bio. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps us create more opportunities for kids and moves us closer to our ultimate goal:

ELIMINATING PAY-TO-PLAY.

A HUGE thank you to Courier Business Academy for investing in our kids and helping us turn this mission into action! 🙌

Please **SHARE** this with a family who could benefit!

THIS is why the Fern Athletics Foundation exists. ❤️

I recently read a Google review from a mom whose family received two full scholarships to our summer camp.

She has four boys who all play sports, and paying for everything adds up FAST. Without financial help, opportunities like camp aren’t always possible.

And the crazy part? These were some of the most skilled kids at camp. ⚽🔥

Talent shouldn’t be limited by what a family can afford.

What we’re doing matters. These scholarships are giving kids real opportunities to train, grow, make friends, and keep playing the sports they love.

And you don’t need to donate $100 to make an impact.

Even $1 per month matters.

Imagine if thousands of people gave just $1 every month. Together, we could fund more scholarships, help more families, and move closer to our goal of eliminating pay-to-play entirely.

💚 $1 can be part of changing the game.

⚽️ Fall Minis Soccer Registration is OPEN! Spots are limited.
At Fern Athletics, we believe recreational soccer should be about more than just showing up for games.
Yes, our players have fun—but they also develop.
That’s why we invest in experienced soccer coaches who understand both the game and how to teach young children. Rather than relying solely on volunteer parents who may have never played or coached soccer, our goal is to create an environment where every child receives quality instruction while still enjoying every minute on the field.
Each session is designed to help players:
✅ Build confidence
✅ Develop real soccer skills
✅ Learn teamwork and sportsmanship
✅ Fall in love with the game
Fall 2026 Divisions
⚽️ U4
⚽️ U5/U6
📍 Glen Burnie, MD
As always, through the Fern Athletics Foundation, we’re committed to making soccer accessible for every family. If your family needs financial assistance, scholarships are available.
You can apply for a scholarship using the link in our bio.
We still recommend registering now to reserve your child’s spot, even if you’ve applied for a scholarship. You can choose one of our payment plans during registration, and if your scholarship is approved after you’ve already paid, we’ll refund your registration costs.
Want to help another child play soccer this season?
❤️ You can make a tax-deductible donation to our scholarship fund through the link in our bio.
🏢 If you’re a business interested in sponsoring our program and helping more children play, we’d love to partner with you. Send us a DM or email [email protected].
🌐 Register today at: minis.fernathletics.com
Registration is first come, first served, and once the divisions are full, registration will close. We can’t wait to see our U4 and U5/U6 players on the field this fall! 💚⚽
