DC Way Academy is a Capitol Hill-based travel soccer club that is dedicated to cultivating talent and potential in children through advanced coaching and technical development using high-level gameplay. We aim to grow intelligent, healthy, mentally strong, and creative players! DC Way Academy currently offers competitive training for U8/U14 Boys (2011-2017). Our teams compete in EDP, EDP Futures, CMSSL, Metro Community League, and MSI for league play.

At DC Way Academy, U8-U10 players will focus on developing technical skills, ABCS (agility, balance, coordination, speed), technique, and game intelligence. It is important to focus on developing these components because, at this age, bodies and minds are rapidly growing and developing. "You can't control the game if you can't control the ball, and you can't control the ball if you are not able to control your body!" We also provide players with physical education based on the FIFA 11+ program to promote injury prevention and safe play.

Our training curriculum is intentionally diverse and entertaining to engage and excite our young players, fostering an enjoyable and safe environment that has our players looking forward to attending each and every practice and game. At the end of each season, players will receive a personal evaluation from their coach to give them the tools to continue developing their skills for the long term.

No matter what sport your child plans to pursue after the age of 12, there is no sport better than soccer for developing essential athletic skills such as coordination, speed, decision-making, and vision! We have no doubt that after the first season with DC Way Academy, you will see a big difference in your young athlete!
