No….

They will not address it.

This is a legacy DCSC issue that spans decades since it was Stoddert.
They have had several lawsuits with coaches in the area. This one is public.

Has DCSC had a town hall on this? I am getting all the emails about the fundraiser as an incoming ECNLR family but nothing about this issue

I’ve noticed that several posts, particularly those asking questions or seeking clarification about ongoing issues at DCSC, have been deleted. This raises concern within the community, especially among families who are seeking transparency and honest communication from the club.

Rather than removing questions, it would be more constructive to address them openly. A clear and respectful dialogue can go a long way in restoring trust and ensuring members feel heard and valued.

Can someone from the DCSC please clarify how leadership plans to address the concerns being raised here?


Thank you.

We’re feeling a bit worried about the coming year. We’ve had a few players leave the group, and just found out that some of the players recruited from outside tryouts have now decided to cancel registration and leave before even joining. Any clubs still doing tryouts in the area?

There is drama at every club. If you haven’t seen it you haven’t been around long enough.

Focus on your kid. Does he/she like the coach? Getting playing time? Developing at the appropriate level? If yes, congrats. If not, look around.

As a parent of a current team, I didn’t notice any of these issues. Yes field space could pose an issue, however they make do with what’s available. We’ve committed to staying albeit these things are going on behind the scenes.

+1, none of this back-office drama has been an issue for either of our two kids.

This is incredibly unethical business practice. DC Soccer needs another full on rebrand with a brand new staff in place. Better yet, what is the board doing allowing all of this to go public?!?!

Can you give us more details? I can't figure out the court case lookup.

Please do. This is crazy.

The coach in the year below us at Liverpool in Rockville poached the whole team and is holding secret trainings with them when he was still supposed to be our coach too. There are three weeks left to the season/year and he is disappeared and only coaching those kids. It’s beyond strange.

What age/gender is this?
