Hammers Academy was forged from a philosophy that equipping youth with soccer skills means setting them up with necessary skills for life.
Through a close-knit community and strong leadership, our club provides top-tier coaching for kids to excel in soccer and life. Based in the Kansas City area, we’re proud to serve local families by emphasizing values like resilience, teamwork, accountability, and integrity—pushing players to apply those qualities in every aspect of life.
