I agree. As its parent coached, there is zero contact between DCSC staff and the kids and parents. You show up, there’s a 13 year old ref, game on.

I think the DCSC charade is very embarrassing- but it doesn’t put me off the rec side.


I have coached rec with DCSC for 5 years now and there are no issues with rec from my end. The ref program there was the best it’s ever been this past year- we had high quality refs for every game and all the games were competitive and fun.

Not anymore. They never really recovered from the pandemic. Not enough volunteers to coach. Not enough refs. Chaotic and dangerous play even for rec. its unfortunately no longer a good option.


I have to agree with this. We did Takoma in 2023 and it was awful. Admittedly we were doing 2.5 year old so there’s that but it felt like a complete waste of time.

We do PPA and it’s been good, but astronomically more expensive and some of the professional coaches are pretty disengaged. Some are fantastic though.

PPA development is great. Mainly in NW.

Ok now that I’ve gotten all these weird emails from DC soccer Club and the guy who split for Brookland (I think?). I live in DC and just want my kids to play low drama soccer (not looking for travel or super competitive).
