DAA Travel Soccer Tryouts

Davidsonville Athletic Association is excited to announce the upcoming Travel Soccer Tryouts for Davidsonville Football Club (DFC)! Boasting some of the finest natural grass fields and coaching staff in the area, DFC provides players with an excellent framework to develop and achieve their goals in the game and beyond. DFC’s mission is to provide players with top-shelf soccer instruction, to compete at the highest levels, and to encourage the development of dynamic, multi-sport athletes.

Due to high demand, tryouts for all age groups will be extended over a period of two weeks from May 8th-18th. Specific dates and times for your child’s age group will be provided two weeks prior to the beginning of tryouts.

All players and parents will have the opportunity to meet the professionally licensed coaching staff. Staff members have playing experience at the collegiate and professional levels and boast successful coaching tenures as well as championship teams at the club, high school, and collegiate levels.

Tryouts are held free of charge and will take place on the Bermuda grass fields at Davidsonville Park for ages 2015 - 2005. Please use the following link to reserve your spot: https://daagators.org/_registration
