ADVANCED PLAYERS
|
If you believe your daughter/son is capable to play at a more advanced level, we would welcome the player to tryout for a Select Team. The competitive league which DCYFC enrolls in allows players to play two years up.
DCYFC consists of "Select' teams, Pre-Travel teams, and a "Development Academy" to promote skill development and game understanding. Our goal is to create skillful soccer players capable of playing at a higher level. We are unaware of any European or South American Development Academy that conducts one or two days of training for 100 players and chooses them for a "select" team. All of the great academies around the world scout players, watch them on the street, in the park, in pick-up games, at camps, in recreation games and in other situations and then invite them to come and train at the Academy. We have watched enough players in the Washington area to recognize desire, motivation and talent. We'll improve upon those qualities and give you a chance to demonstrate your commitment. |
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
|
DCYFC is interested in attracting motivated and committed players who want to improve their skills and game understanding. We expect our Development players to be focused and willing to train hard.
There is no tryout process to join the Academy. Training is conducted for 1 1/4 hours in NW DC. DCYFC has several field locations and training will consist of dribbling, passing, shooting, first touches, control, possession, small-side games and understanding/creating space. Weekday training sessions will be a combination of skill development, physical conditioning and conducting training exercises that facilitate and reflect movements and motions needed to play soccer. You are always welcome to attend a weekday or Sunday session to try us out. |
