Hialeah City FC Academy

Hialeah City FC Academy trains at James H. Goodlet Park, a city recreation complex at 4200 West Eighth Avenue. Its current public program separates two birth-year ranges. Players born from 2009 through 2017 are scheduled Monday through Thursday from 6 to 7:30 p.m.; those born from 2018 through 2021 train Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m. The site lists a $120 club registration that includes a training uniform, then a monthly fee of $180 plus tax for the older group and $150 plus tax for the younger one. Those are academy-published figures; check that the child’s birth year still falls in the displayed cohort and ask what else is needed before completing its MySubscription registration.

Goodlet Park changes the experience around the practice. The City describes a 28-acre facility with two artificial-turf soccer fields, basketball, tennis, pickleball, racquetball, a track, playground, theater, dog park and a recreation building. Those are park amenities, not services run by the academy, and park hours can differ from a team’s evening session. A family arriving for the first time should verify the field and entrance with the club. Hialeah City FC also says it has an academy futsal team in the Miami Futsal League, which gives players a second format to ask about; the club’s published page does not state that every academy player joins that team.

Soccer Star Elite offers another route in and around Hialeah, with programs for children ages 4–15 and a progression from introductory U5–U7 groups toward development and competitive teams. Its current location page assigns different age groups and teams to Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah and Country Village Park in nearby Miami. It schedules three sessions a week, normally 90 minutes each, with the exact time depending on the team. The fee page lists a $145 initiation payment for the introductory program and $160 monthly for development or competitive training; the separate registration is $250 plus a 4% platform fee and includes three uniforms. A free tryout is listed, but players should confirm the next date and the proper location rather than rely on old tryout notices.

The two choices solve different family needs. Hialeah City FC publishes a compact weeknight timetable at a city park and a clear monthly price by birth-year group; Soccer Star Elite moves players among parks according to age and roster, and describes three weekly practices with a competitive progression. A parent should compare the child’s actual group, commute, session length, uniform charges and total season cost before judging the headline monthly fee. Both are youth soccer choices, not pathways into a professional roster. South Florida’s first-division reference is Inter Miami CF in MLS, which plays in Miami; the local academy pages do not claim an affiliation with the professional club.
