DC Soccer is in discussions to plan the 2011 clinic and to bring the adult amateur tryouts, Copa Alianza, back to Washington.

Over the past two years DC Soccer had worked with Verizon Wireless to offer free soccer clinics for youth soccer players led by Carlos ‘El Pibe’ Valderrama. In June 2009 the event was hosted with Real Maryland FC at their home field in Rockville. This May the event was hosted at Cardozo Senior High School. This annual family event draws young players of all ages and levels from all over the DC region. DC Soccer hosts this event each year as part of its community outreach efforts through soccer.

DC Soccer’s Goals for Girls team is working on exciting potential programs in 2011. Through ongoing discussions with U.S. Embassies and the U.S. Department of State, programs are being considered during the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011 in Germany. Countries expressing interest include Botswana, Germany, and Nigeria.
