Washington, DC, JUNE 24, 2025 — DC Soccer Club and Washington Spirit are proud to announce a youth soccer clinic presented by Events DC on Sunday, August 17, at The Fields at RFK Campus (401 Oklahoma Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002) from 9am-12pm. This event promises an exciting opportunity for young girls to train with top coaches and meet professional athletes, all while enjoying a memorable day of soccer with peers.

The clinic is open to girls aged U8 to U14 and is designed to offer high-quality training in a fun, inclusive environment. Registration is $50 per participant and includes:

• Professional coaching and clinic training session
• An official Washington Spirit T-shirt
• One ticket to the Washington Spirit home game on August 31st (Additional tickets may be purchased–A link will be sent to registrants at a later date.
• Special appearances by Washington Spirit players
   

“This clinic is a fantastic opportunity to inspire the next generation of soccer players in the city to continue playing,” said DC Soccer Club Director of Recreation and Youth Player Development. “We’re excited to partner with the Washington Spirit and Events DC to give girls access to an environment where they can thrive and connect as it’s led by female coaches and professional role models.”

The joint youth clinic is a powerful initiative designed to keep girls in the game and inspire the next generation of athletes. Nationwide, girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys by age 14, often due to limited access, low confidence and a lack of representation. Open to girls U8-U14, this clinic provides more than just skill development–it’s a space where young players can grow in confidence, connect with peers, and learn from experienced female coaches and mentors. Whether they are new to the sport, or ready to elevate their game, the clinic’s purpose is to help girls feel supported, seen and empowered.
