Our Brazilian Way Summer Camp isn't just about sharpening soccer skills; it's a cultural journey that promises an unforgettable day for children aged 7-13 at the RFK Fields.

FRIENDS, GAMES, FUN…WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

At DC Way, our philosophy is that players learn best when they are having fun. Our exciting Summer Soccer Camp will develop your child’s physical and cognitive skills through strategic and fun games! In just a week, you will see changes in your child’s motor skills, decision-making ability, spatial awareness, and more!

We also focus on teaching life skills one can learn from sports such as emotional intelligence, responsibility, healthy habits, honesty, caring, and self-confidence. In addition to these essential motor and life skills, we put our main focus into initially developing soccer skills. Within these skills, we aim to improve players’ decision-making, vision, anticipation, speed, and basic technical moves. By teaching these critical skills, we are building a foundation for our players to continually progress as both soccer players and people. Join DC Way for an energetic and transformative soccer experience that goes beyond the ordinary!

All of the DC Way coaches are certified soccer coaches with extensive experience working with children. Our coaches have all passed mandatory background checks, have at least two years of experience working with children, and have received First Aid training.
