What Parents Are Saying
“Being part of DC Way has been great for building Hudson’s confidence and social skills. He’s able to engage with his friends and classmates in a setting where they’re learning to work together. He’s just having fun and staying active, which I think is really important for kids his age.”
— Jenna, Mother of Hudson (6)
“DC Way has been great for my child because she can be active and learn the sport alongside her friends. It’s given her a sense of community and helped her build pride in being part of a team. She has also made new friends, started learning more about soccer, and enjoys it. The emphasis on having fun is so important at this age because we want to focus not on competition, but on fun and getting out there.”
— Courtney, Mother of Colette (6)
