About Us

FCGB Center of Excellence is a registered 501 (c) (3) organization based in Montgomery County, Maryland. The FCGB Center of Excellence was established in 2017 by two former European professional soccer players each of whom is now solely dedicated to the development of young players in the United States. 

Nenad Vilotijevic and James Myers-Antiaye, the two primary coaches and trainers, have over ten years of individual and team-oriented training experience and all each hold high level UEFA coaching licenses.  

Mission Statement

The mission of the FCGB Center of Excellence is to develop premier-caliber youth soccer players to be able to perform at their highest-level. Elite-player development is our focus, with each member of our European and American coaching staff dedicated to developing each player’s technical-skills, tactical-understanding, and ability to finish at very high-level. To achieve this level of success, our players must demonstrate commitment, sacrifice, focus, an excellent work-ethic, and teamwork. Ultimately, these same foundational qualities of a person’s character are also required to be successful in life and develop as a person—and not just for soccer development. This is what our program produces and we do that with players from all backgrounds. 

FCGB Center of Excellence (CoE) provides a quality environment and the experiences necessary to build a strong social and athletic foundation for young girls and boys of all backgrounds.  Our emphasis is on individual expression and creativity, the FCGB CoE will prepare these young players physically, mentally and psychologically to compete at all levels of play. 

We offer a fun atmosphere designed to continue building the fundamentals of sports. The advanced age-appropriate activities will be more specific to soccer with a focus on individual techniques and basic skill execution.

The FCGB Center of Excellence's programs are designed to develop players initially at the PreAcademy level and as they develop and excel, they will advance to play for a team within our Academy, an elite soccer club in Montgomery County, Maryland.  We currently have teams in both PreAcademy and Academy that are U9-U19. These teams are further divided into geographical locations, CoE East and CoE West.  CoE East generally plays and practices in the Olney area.  CoE West generally plays and practices in the Bethesda and Germantown areas.
