At DC Way, safety is our top priority. We are committed to providing a secure, structured, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow with confidence. Every coach on our team is a certified soccer professional with extensive experience working with young players. They’ve undergone mandatory background checks, have at least two years of coaching experience, and are trained in First Aid to ensure a safe and supportive setting for all participants. Parents can rest assured that their children are in trusted hands while enjoying an active and enriching after-school program.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to play soccer—without financial barriers. At DC Way, we are committed to keeping our programs affordable and accessible, ensuring that families from all backgrounds can participate. Our goal is to provide high-quality coaching and development at a fair price, giving children a healthy, active, and positive outlet after school. By keeping costs reasonable, we make it possible for more young athletes to join, learn, and grow within our soccer community.
At DC Way, learning is all about having fun! Our after-school programs are packed with high-energy drills, engaging games, and exciting challenges that keep children active, entertained, and eager to improve. Unlike traditional training methods, we focus on fast-paced activities with minimal downtime, ensuring that every session is full of movement, teamwork, and laughter. We believe that the game itself is the best teacher, and by creating an environment filled with joy and enthusiasm, we help young players develop skills naturally while building a lifelong love for soccer.
Soccer is more than just a sport—it’s a tool for personal growth. Our after-school programs are designed to teach more than just passing and dribbling; they help instill important life lessons such as responsibility, teamwork, resilience, and confidence. Every session introduces a new skill, core value, or important lesson that children can carry beyond the field. Through structured drills and game scenarios, we help young athletes develop decision-making skills, leadership qualities, and sportsmanship, shaping them into well-rounded individuals both on and off the pitch.
