At D.C. United Summer Camps powered by Headfirst, our goal is simple: ignite your child’s love of the game. With small-group instruction and fast-paced competition, players build and reinforce core soccer skills—whether they’re new to the game or already playing club.
We’re doing more than teaching kids the game—we’re inspiring how they play it. Our coaches motivate campers through a positive points-and-rewards system that emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and effort over being the “best” player on the field.
Expect fast-paced, gamified drills, plenty of competition, and a whole lot of fun. Your camper will head home tired, proud, and excited to come back the next day.
Young athletes thrive when they feel confident and comfortable. That’s why we group campers by age, ensuring the right level of challenge, instruction, and competition. Each level introduces new skills and a fresh D.C. United Summer Camps experience—year after year.
Rising Kindergarten – 2nd Grade: Fun First, Fundamentals Always
For our youngest players, the focus is simple: joyful play and soccer basics. Through games, competitions, and energetic activities, we keep them engaged, excited, and learning the foundations of the sport.
As players grow beyond the beginner stage, we reinforce core fundamentals while increasing pace and challenge. Drills become more gamified and competitive- designed to keep campers learning, improving, and having fun.
For players maturing with the sport, our training introduces advanced variations of drills to strengthen mechanics, technique, and decision-making. Campers experience multiple positions, grow their soccer IQ, and take meaningful strides in their development
