About
District of Columbia Football Club (DCFC) offers soccer activities that include camps, clinics, fitness sessions, free play sessions, and competing in matches against other local clubs. Players also take part in tournaments within manageable distances of the District of Columbia. In addition to soccer, the program includes tutoring, guest speakers, mentorship, SAT preparation, college counseling sessions, and soccer-specific nutrition, health, and wellness workshops.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
• Schedule: DCFC operates on an independent schedule.
• Price: DCFC is completely free for players.
DCFC is powered by Open Goal Project, a non-profit organization. Communications to participants and their families are in English and Spanish. Programming is led by licensed, professional coaches, and DCFC operates on an independent schedule to mitigate costs and travel. DCFC’s curriculum and vision for youth development is guided by Open Goal Project Executive Director, Amir Lowery, who competed as a student-athlete in college at Wake Forest University and played soccer professionally for nearly a decade in Major League Soccer and the United Soccer League. Amir Lowery holds a USSF “B” coaching license and has coached players at a variety of youth levels from elementary to high school age groups. Since 2015, hundreds of youth soccer players have attended Open Goal Project camps, clinics, fitness and free play sessions, and in 2019, Open Goal Project launched DCFC. To combat the pay to play model that has sidelined athletes from low-income families for far too long, DCFC is completely free for players.
