About
Open Goal Project – District of Columbia Football Club (DCFC) offers free-to-play soccer programming that includes high-level soccer instruction and competition. The program includes youth travel soccer along with age-appropriate workshops and skills. All DCFC programs are held within walking distance of public transportation.
• Price: DCFC is a 100% free-to-play youth soccer club. DCFC is DC’s first and only fully-funded 100% free-to-play youth travel soccer club. A similar “pay-to-play” youth soccer club would cost between $3,000–$5,000 annually in the region.
Programs are coached by professional coaches, community mentors, and culturally competent, bilingual leaders. Open Goal Project launched District of Columbia Football Club (DCFC) in 2019 and is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The organization is dedicated to empowering the community through 100% free-to-play soccer programming and uses soccer to promote positive youth development, support upward social mobility, and provide youth with knowledge and resources to thrive. Open Goal Project focuses on holistic youth development programs that were previously inaccessible because of systemic barriers before the organization existed. The organization provides young players from low-income families and marginalized communities with access to high-level soccer and supports players and their families in navigating costs and barriers to play, using soccer as a vehicle for cultural enrichment, education, and life experiences. Open Goal Project is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and the founders of the program are Simon and Amir.
