IRON CITY FC & DEAD AIR 412 LAUNCH DEAD AIR 412 ACADEMY TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF PITTSBURGH TALENT

PITTSBURGH, PA — Iron City FC, in partnership with its culture and media division Dead Air 412, is proud to officially announce the launch of Dead Air 412 Academy, a youth soccer academy built to develop elite players, stronger leaders, and better members of the Pittsburgh community.

Dead Air 412 Academy represents the next chapter in Iron City FC’s mission to build football culture from the ground up.

More than a soccer academy, Dead Air 412 Academy is designed to create a complete pathway for young athletes — combining high-level player development with leadership, discipline, mentorship, community service, and opportunities both on and off the field.

The academy will serve players across three age groups:

⚽ U11 | Ages 7–10
⚽ U15 | Ages 11–14
⚽ U19 | Ages 15–18

At Dead Air 412 Academy, the goal is simple:

Develop the player.
Build the person.
Represent the city.

Every athlete will complete 10 hours of community service per season, because wearing the badge means more than competing — it means serving the community that supports them.

Unlike traditional clubs, Dead Air 412 Academy combines football development with the culture, storytelling, and media power of Dead Air 412, giving players access to a modern athlete experience built around:

• Technical Development
• Tactical Intelligence
• Athletic Performance
• Leadership Training
• Mental Performance
• Character Development
• College Recruiting Preparation
• Media & Personal Branding Opportunities
• Community Engagement

Dead Air 412 Academy joins Iron City FC’s growing football family, creating a pathway where young players can develop from the academy level into the competitive environment of Iron City FC.

“This isn’t just about creating better soccer players. It’s about creating people who represent Pittsburgh with pride. The academy is where the next generation begins.”
