IMPORTANT - Before proceeding to "Register and Pay" all players MUST "Register for Tryouts" even if they did not participate in formal tryouts.  If the player does not register for tryouts, he or she will be unable to proceed to the registration and payment step because his/her data will NOT be in the system.  "Tryout registration" is a bit of a misnomer for the older teams - it is essentially the step that captures all players’ contact information for the new database.  Note:  There will be a delay of a day or two after you register for tryouts before you can formally register and pay. The reason is the club needs to change the player’s status to "accepted" and place the player on a team before you will be able to pay.

To Register For Tryouts

To Register And Pay For The Fall 2008 Season

Thank you to everyone who came out to tryouts June 10th & 12th.  After careful consideration of all the players, we have made the following selections.

As part of its effort to promote healthy lifestyles through sports, The Century Council, a national nonprofit focused on preventing drunk driving and underage drinking, has provided DC Stoddert Soccer with resources to cover scholarships for athletes and tickets to D.C. United games. Watch for its  "Ask, Listen, Learn"  campaign at our games next season!

How do coaches spend their summer vacation--or at least a weekend of it? Pounding up and down a sweltering field and learning how to "teach from the game" in the USSF E Certificate Coaching Course.

 

 

BOYS U9-U12 Please make sure your manager has your e-mail and phone information, particularly if you have not yet been contacted by anyone from DC Stoddert.  Team meetings will be scheduled following Academy Director, Craig Jones' return next week. 

Two important items:  Registration & Uniform Orders
*Registration will be open next Monday, June 9th - Friday, June 13th.  If you made a team but did not register for tryouts through the system, you will need to do this first.  
*Uniform samples will be available at the club for try-ons next week if you have not yet submitted sizes to your team manager. 

Thank you for your patience while we work through the new registration system!

Following are the managers/interim contacts for each boys' team U9-U12...

DC Stoddert Soccer is a non-profit organization currently serving almost 5,000 children and young adults in the DC metropolitan area. At a time when a lack of physical activity is legitimately seen to be a public health crisis, DC Stoddert Soccer is proud to carry on its 30 year tradition of making its soccer programs available to all who want to play, regardless of athletic ability, ethnicity, or the financial background of their family

May 10 Co-ed Rec League @ Roosevelt H.S.

 Thanks to your advocacy with the City Council and DC Public Schools, our recreational teams now have access to the superb artificial turf field at Roosevelt High School. But with 180 rec and travel games every weekend in both fall and spring seasons, fields remain scarce and fees are rising. Help us maintain the fields we have and partner to build new fields in the future. Please consider adding a donation for fields to your Fall registration, and continue to advocate with the City Council.

 

 

Talk about a dream team!
