United Soccer Club

Starting in 2008 United Soccer Club entered into a partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to continue to expand the program to sites throughout Washington D.C. This fall the program will continue to expand to a total of seven sites including an initial site in Ward 1 at Harrison Recreation center as well as a fourth site in Ward 8 at Congress Heights. United Soccer Club continues to grow, now giving kids access to organized soccer at seven different sites.

Mission

To introduce the sport of Soccer to the youth in the inner-city communities of Washington, D.C. Through soccer, D.C. United, United for D.C. and the United Soccer Club will fully engage youth by introducing them to soccer and encouraging their continued participation in the game. The overall goal is to partner with urban families and community- based organizations in order to invest in the athletic, emotional and social welfare of the children living east of the Anacostia River and eventually throughout the entire District of Columbia. The primary focus is to teach the joy of the game, to develop soccer skills in youth players and to underline the character that team sports produce in athletes.
