Liverpool FC International Academy Maryland has formed a partnership with the Moose Athletic Club in Glen Burnie with intentions to utilize both its indoor facility and outside playing fields for practices, training sessions, league games and tournaments.

Formerly the Moose Lodge and Family Center, the 30,000-square-foot building was transformed into a multi-functional indoor sports facility featuring a 6,500-square-foot turf box arena and 3,900 square-foot-turf training area, in addition to a fitness and weight room and locker room facility. It is positioned less than a mile from Interstate 97, MD Route 3 and the University of Maryland Medical Center, as well as 2 miles from MD Route 100 and 5 miles from Interstate 695. The new configuration began operations in January.

Liverpool FC will begin usage of the interior spaces this fall and will integrate programming on the two full-size outdoor fields upon its completion early next year. This agreement follows the recent announcement of an alliance with Hero’s Lacrosse and Moose Athletic Club to launch Sweatin Moose, a summer league, lacrosse academy and camp targeting area youth players with a focus on a Canadian box lacrosse-style of training and playing. Moose Athletic Club is at 1911 Crain Hwy.

Liverpool FC International Academy Maryland began operations statewide in 2017 and now operates locations serving elite youth soccer players in Central Maryland, Western Maryland and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. The group’s presence in Anne Arundel County lacked a permanent home base after being spread out across a number of different fields throughout the area.

Liverpool FC International Academy Maryland houses approximately 30 teams for elite players ranging from U7 to U19, in addition to local community partnerships and initiatives that enable the academy to develop more than one thousand players annually across the state.   The organization also provides one-on-one and group training opportunities, summer camps, league play and weekend tournaments.

Earlier this year, The Moose Athletic Club announced the decision by True Sports Physical Therapy, a sports rehabilitation concept founded by Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt, to lease space within the facility. Trained professionals will be available on-site to address any issues encountered by participants in the summer camp, lacrosse academy and games. True Sports Physical Therapy has treated former Duke University lacrosse player Deemer Class, former Johns Hopkins lacrosse player Kyle Harrison and numerous professional athletes that competed in the NFL and Major League Baseball.
