WASHINGTON, DC— DC Soccer Club is proud to announce a new partnership with Cohen Health and Performance, a premier physical therapy and performance training provider with office locations in Bethesda and McLean. Through this sponsorship, Cohen Health and Performance (CHP) will help DC Soccer Club continue supporting players, families, and coaches through education, training, and thoughtful care focused on athlete health and development.

CHP provides physical therapy and performance training services for young athletes and active individuals, including high school performance training programs, adult personal training, and comprehensive physical therapy designed to address a wide range of needs. Founded by Dr. Zachary Cohen, CHP’s Doctors of Physical Therapy and Performance Coaches combine advanced rehabilitation and sports physical therapy techniques with sport-specific knowledge to create customized recovery and return-to-competition plans.

“We’re excited to partner with Cohen Health and Performance and bring their expertise into our DC Soccer community, strengthening how we support athletes both on and off the field,” said Greg Andrulis, Executive Director of DC Soccer Club. “Dr. Cohen and his team understand the demands placed on athletes and the importance of supporting them through every stage of development. This collaboration enhances our focus on athlete wellness through education, access, and shared expertise, and includes working closely with our Director of Soccer, Matt Arrington, to expand performance-focused opportunities across the club.”

As part of the partnership, Cohen Health and Performance will collaborate with DC Soccer Club to provide injury-prevention workshops, screening clinics, and educational sessions for players, families, and coaches. The sponsorship will also include contributed articles to the DC Soccer Club newsletter, offering ongoing education and practical guidance for families across the club.

“Cohen Health and Performance is a proven leader in sports performance in the DMV,” said Matt Arrington, Director of Soccer at DC Soccer Club. “Creating this access for our teams, players, and families will continue to drive forward our commitment to player development and providing more resources for our players to grow and improve. With this partnership, we’ll be able to provide greater access to strength and conditioning programs, baseline testing, injury assessments, and return-to-play programs. We’re thrilled to have CHP on board with DCSC.”

“At Cohen Health & Performance, we believe every athlete deserves individualized, world-class physical therapy and performance training that supports long-term health and athletic development,” said Dr. Zachary Cohen, Founder of Cohen Health & Performance. “Partnering with DC Soccer Club allows us to serve a community that values athlete well-being and performance at every stage. We are excited to work alongside a club that shares our commitment to helping athletes stay healthy, recover from injury, and perform at their best.”

What sets CHP apart is its one-on-one model, ensuring each client receives undivided attention during every session. Their team brings extensive experience working with high-level athletes from around the world and applies that same standard of care to youth athletes, high school players, weekend warriors, and adults.



This partnership reflects a shared commitment to long-term athlete development, education, and wellness—supporting players not only in competition, but throughout their growth as athletes and individuals.
