What Families Are Saying

At DC Way Academy, our families are at the heart of everything we do. We're grateful to be part of your child's soccer journey and to build a community where players grow, friendships form, and a love for the game takes root. Thank you for trusting us with your kids and for being such an important part of what makes this club special.

Here's what DC Way Academy families have shared about their experience with us.


"I sincerely appreciate how DC Way has created a broad range of opportunities for kids to play soccer in DC, especially Capitol Hill. I appreciate that DC Way tries to balance skilled development alongside a strong team building orientation."


"We've kept together a team of nice girls for several years. I like the way that DC Way focuses on developing players and a love for the game over just winning."


"Coaches are the best, admin is great, fields are awesome, game analysis is unique, personal touch is great."


"DC Way provides a positive, welcoming environment where kids enjoy showing up for soccer. The club offers a variety of playing experiences through leagues, tournaments, and match resources."


"The academy gets the kids lots of on field time and chances to play in games. I appreciate the 2x a week practice schedule and the exposure to experienced and knowledgeable coaches."


"DC Way is very communicative and adaptable. My son has had great opportunities over the past five years to play with his neighborhood friends and build lifelong connections. The coaches and their positive attitude have been a great influence on our son."


"Coaches and Administrators know my child very well and understand their developmental needs. We have really appreciated the smaller team setup this past Fall season which allows for more consistent playing time with the same teammates and comparable skills. It feels like they are all developing faster because of it."

"Consistent coaching this year with a coach who is thoughtful about player development."


"They are doing a great job coaching and communicating with the families."
