HELLO EVERYONE DC Stoddert is a sleeping giant. The club has been in operation for 40 years and in that time we’ve been the constant in an ever changing City and soccer landscape. We acknowledge that we have an opportunity to improve the soccer and life experiences of all of our student-athletes, and we’re invested in providing the best opportunities to enjoy the game and compete at the highest levels available to us.

As we’ve evolved, we’ve focused on creating a robust, professional structure for all of our members to follow and thrive in. We are tactically expanding our footprint and aim to increase young people’s exposure to the beautiful game across the city.

We’re becoming a more efficient and transparent yet land-locked urban soccer club. This means we want to share information with student-athletes, parents and coaches to create the best culture we can which will create a pride and dedication in the community and people we serve.

One community, one club, built together for the betterment of our children and young adults.

Everyone involved in DC Stoddert has a passion to see the student-athletes succeed in the classroom and on the pitch. It’s our job as coaches and leaders of youth to provide the best pathway and opportunities available for these future leaders. The most exciting part of any coaches work is seeing the student-athletes grow, mature, and become talented players and quality people.

This game is a gift, the greatest gift I’ve ever received and one we want to cherish and respect at all times for our club members. We will shoot for the stars and achieve great things from the standards we’ve set. It’s your job as families, community and club members to support the vision and trust the process.

We will play with freedom and without fear.We will be confident but respectful.We are DC Stoddert.

Looking forward to our best year ever. See you on the pitch.

WHAT IS DC STODDERT TRAVEL SOCCER? DC Stoddert Soccer’s Travel Program is an Academy-style structure that focuses on developing a spark and love for the beautiful game in youngest age groups before nurturing it through high-quality training and competition, allowing us to showcase our quality in the oldest age groups—allowing the player to grow and succeed in a safe, fun, and challenging environment in the classroom and on the pitch.

OUR TEAMS PLAY IN TWO LEAGUESOur teams play in the Club Champions League (CCL) and the National Capital Soccer League (NCSL). Games in these leagues are held in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. About half of the season are home games, played either at fields in the District of Columbia or at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown, MD.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? The Travel Program is a 9 month, 3-season commitment—Fall, Winter, Spring—with a focus on individual and team development. Wins and losses are not our benchmark of success, but rather style of play, skill execution, and strength of character and personal development. We strive to create life long supporters of the game and club.

THE BIG PICTURE?As a soccer community, we hope to get to know one another on and off the field building bonds and friendships that will enrich your life and soccer experience and create a positive atmosphere at games and practices for everyone. We strive to make our student-athletes better soccer players by giving them the tools and training they need to become technically adept, tactically sound, and ultimately excellent players in a supportive and fun environment.

PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

11 STODDERT.COM

The 2018-19 Season will introduce a Goalkeeping program for players between the ages of U11 and U19. Goalkeepers will have access to experienced Professional Goalkeeping Instructors. Goalkeepers will have a third session in addition to their two team practices every week at no additional charge. Plus additional goalkeeping option for U9-10.

During these sessions-, the goalkeepers will work on many facets of the game from foundation handling to shot stopping, dealing with aerial balls, being the first point of attack, an outlet to release pressure in possession, and being a part of the team as the last line of defense. They will work on the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological conditioning as goalkeepers.

Keepers will learn to play the DC Stoddert way - operating as the first line of attack as well as the last line of defense; quick off their line to sweep up through balls and able to manipulate the ball as effectively with their hands as their feet whilst communicating and organizing the players in front of them.

LEADERSHIP + SOCCER

DC Stoddert Soccer is committed to providing a high-quality Travel Program to its players and families, while mindful of the costs associated with Travel soccer. Our philosophy is to trim costs where possible, while not sacrificing the caliber of our professional coaches and competitive program. As a non-profit 503(c) organization, our fees are based on a cost-recovery model rather than on revenue generation. Moreover, our values as a club mean that we never want finances to prevent any interested player from participating, and as such each year approximately 8% of the program budget is set aside to provide financial assistance to those families where financial barriers exist. Costs to deliver the program include:

· Coaching salaries· League & State fees· Fields & equipment· Tournaments· Referees· Player & coach development· Financial assistance program· Operational staff· Administrative G & A

DC Stoddert Soccer is appreciative of the generosity of families who contribute volunteer time as team managers, sideline referees, and in so many other ways. We are grateful to our many members who make financial donations to the club in support of player development, fields, and scholarships. As we look to keep costs down, we welcome additional support to the Club – through volunteering, financial or material goods donations, or sponsoring one of our programs if you or someone you know is a business owner. Thank you in advance for your continued support to DC Stoddert Soccer.
