Who are the Metro Omaha Wolves? We are an Omaha soccer club that serves players and parents in Omaha, La Vista, Bellevue, Papillion and surrounding communities in Douglas and Sarpy Counties.
We are a 501(c)(3) non profit that is an offshoot of the English Premier League's Wolverhampton Wanderers. We offer something for everyone:
- In-house Junior Academy for ages 4-7
- Developmental team soccer for ages 7-10 in local recreational leagues
- Select / Travel soccer for 10 years old and older that prepares players interested in playing in high school and beyond
Our teams play in Fall and Spring leagues, attend local and regional tournaments, and participate in winter training or leagues as appropriate. The La Vista Sports Complex is our primary location for practices, home games, and tournament hosting.
We host our annual SocctoberFest tournament at the end of each October, and our Spring Recreational Cup tournament in early June.
Metro Wolves' philosophy also embraces the athletes with multiple activities in their lives. While we expect Select level players to take soccer seriously, we do not discourage multi-sport athletes or expect you to drop other activities (band, dance, DECA, etc.) just to play soccer with Wolves. We offer multiple open training sessions each week to accommodate players with scheduling conflicts. Use of the Wolverhampton Academy Technical Guide will ensure that players are receiving the same training in "makeup" or alternate training sessions if they have a conflict with their team's practices.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, sponsorships and donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Club, team and or tournament sponsor opportunities are available, inquiries are welcome! Proceeds benefit our Financial Aid fund, and the tournament also offers fundraising opportunities for parents and players to earn money helping out with tournament operations.
Metro Omaha Wolves Soccer Club, through our affiliation with the Wolverhampton North American Academy, is dedicated to using the training philosophy of the Wolverhampton Wanderers professional club in the U.K. All coaches have access to their Academy Technical Guide, ensuring a consistent approach to soccer training at all ages. Wolverhampton has been at this for over a century, and we are grateful to have them share their expertise in these matters and allow us the luxury of not reinventing the wheel.
This does not mean coaches must rigidly adhere to a specific training regimen. All coaches will have access to a variety of training exercises from which they may choose what best fits their team, within the general framework of what is age appropriate. All Metro Wolves players will be exposed to the same training approaches no matter what team they are on, leading to consistent development, and easier movement between teams and age levels.
All players and their families will know what their expectations are and how their current training applies in both the short and long term - getting you ready for Select level soccer, getting you ready for High School soccer, or getting you prepared for college level play.
Our goal at Metro Wolves is to be the place to develop and play soccer if you are interested in playing in High School or at colleges in the region. We have and continue to develop relationships with many small colleges in Nebraska and neighboring states, and will regularly host their coaches for visits and clinics.
Metro Omaha Wolves Soccer Club is a registered Trade Name of Phoenix Futbol Club, inc. Phoenix / Metro Wolves have been serving the youth soccer community in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa since 2003.
