NEVER TOO YOUNG FOOTBALL CLUB (NTY FC)

The Seacoast Region is an incredible development arena for aspiring young soccer players. For the past 40 years, New Hampshire youth clubs, Olympic development programs, high schools, and private schools continue to compete at the highest levels, proving that NH is a powerhouse for soccer development.

NTY FC Program History
The Never Too Young Football Club (NTY FC) was founded in 2021, just after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and shortly after the restrictions on social gatherings were lessened. Having a 3-year-old at home, co-founders Matt LaBarre and his wife, Tina LaBarre, believed that young children and families deserved to get some semblance of normal back into their lives. Matt knew immediately the program would focus on introducing soccer to children. From a young age, Matt had a passion for soccer; he played club soccer growing up, and then for Dartmouth College. Additionally, Tina, a Registered Dietitian, has always had a passion for health and wellness. She supplements the program with nutrition education which elevates the value of the program. During the 2020-21 seasons, families gathered in a makeshift field in their backyard, excited to take part in a program that emphasized athletics and academics in a laid back, family-oriented environment. The program has evolved to traditioanl and alternative tournament participation including Futsol and Beach tournaments.
