When the Weather Cools Down, the Energy Moves Indoors
Winter doesn’t mean soccer stops — it just takes on a whole new rhythm! At DC Way, we’re bringing the game indoors with a lineup of exciting futsal-based programs designed for every age and skill level. From fun one-day tournaments to structured training and competitive play, there’s something for every young player to stay active, build confidence, and keep loving the game all winter long.
1. December Futsal Cup – A Weekend of Action & Joy
Kick off the winter season with our December Futsal Cup, a high-energy indoor tournament where young players (K–4th Grade) experience the thrill of futsal — fast games, quick decisions, and tons of fun! It’s the perfect introduction to the winter season, giving kids a chance to play, compete, and celebrate teamwork before the holidays.

Once the new year begins, the action continues with our Capitol Hill Winter League, a fun, futsal-style indoor league for Preschool–2nd Grade.

Why Futsal Matters
Across all these programs, one thing connects them: futsal. Played on a smaller court with fewer players, futsal gives children more touches, faster decisions, and endless opportunities to grow. It’s not just great winter fun — it’s the secret to developing smarter, more confident soccer players year-round.
