DME Academy Girls Soccer Primed for a Strong 2025–26 Season

Girls soccer at DME Academy is already making moves in the 2025–26 season. Just days after their opening match, the team is building on the work they put in last year and the summer training that kept players sharp. With returning experience and new talent, the program is positioned to compete at a high level.

Laying the Foundation

Last season provided a solid platform for growth, and that momentum carried into the offseason. Preseason served as a vital period for regaining match fitness, integrating new players, and reinforcing the team’s established training model.

Evaluating Summer Preparation

While the preseason period focused on growth and team chemistry, it also offered a clear evaluation point. Coaches observed which players maintained their conditioning and commitment over the summer.

“It usually takes a few sessions to knock off the cobwebs, but that initial adjustment period tells us a lot,” says Head Coach Kioki Hutchings.

Building Momentum

As training sessions progress, the energy ramps up. Effort increases, intensity rises, and the coaching staff begins pushing players toward their full potential.

“By the end of the first week, we usually start getting the most out of the players,” Coach Kioki adds. “That’s when things start to really come together.”

Momentum Carrying into the Season

As training sessions progressed, energy and intensity ramped up. Effort levels rose, and the coaching staff began pushing players toward their full potential.

“By the end of the first week, we usually start getting the most out of the players,” Hutchings adds. “That’s when things start to really come together.”

Training with Purpose for the Demands Ahead

The focus is not just on conditioning but on smart preparation for the competitive calendar ahead. “We spend a lot of time making sure the players’ bodies are capable of competing at a high level,” Hutchings explains. “Now that the regular season is underway, we’ve shifted toward tactical preparation.”

Ready to Compete All Season Long

With match fitness on the rise and a growing sense of team unity, DME Academy girls soccer has set a strong tone for the season ahead. The work done over the summer and in preseason is already paying off — and the team is ready to build on it in the matches to come.
