JFC Brings MLS GO Program to Arlington

Jacksonville FC (JFC) is excited to announce the launch of the MLS GO youth soccer program in Arlington, starting January 4, 2025, at Arlington Middle Athletic Field. This initiative reflects JFC's commitment to expanding youth soccer and creating accessible opportunities for children in the heart of our community.

“Bringing MLS GO to Arlington is a significant step forward in making soccer accessible to more children in Jacksonville,” said Pat Cannon, Jacksonville FC Executive Director.

The eight-week program runs from January 4 through February 21, 2025, culminating in a Community Jamboree at Patton Park, hosted in conjunction with the Jacksonville Armada’s MLS GO Eastside League. Open to players ages 5–14, the program includes practices at Arlington Middle School, where participants will develop foundational soccer skills, receive mentorship from Jacksonville FC staff, and enjoy a supportive, family-oriented athletic environment.
