Academy hosting 7v7 tournament in support of McDermott family  -

It's time to band together to help a fellow member of the Black-and-Red family. The father of TJ McDermott, a member of D.C. United Academy's U-15 team, was recently involved in a severe car accident. While he's now in stable condition, he will remain hospitalized and will need several months to recover. 


To help the McDermott family cover their medical expenses, the United family is coming together to host a 7v7 tournament on Sunday, June 17, with all proceeds benefitting the McDermotts. To register a team, contact Jamis Garay (703-403-9529) or Danilo Garay (703-401-2455).
