Youth Soccer Development Programs for Kids in MD and NW DC

Looking for a fun, challenging soccer program for your child? PPA’s Development Soccer Program is designed for young players ages 3–10 who want more than a recreational league—but aren’t quite ready for travel soccer.

Led by professional coaches, our program focuses on building essential soccer skills in a supportive and exciting environment. Kids learn footwork, passing, shooting, and in-game strategy through weekly practices and games. Each season is carefully designed to help your child grow in confidence, ability, and love of the game.

Give your child a strong foundation in soccer—join the PPA Development Program today.

KiddoBall (3 - 5 Year Olds)

Designed to activate the inner soccer star of budding athletes, we play inside walled fields (so the ball never goes out), with multiple goals and multiple balls in play at once.

Kindergarten League

This league builds confidence and foundational skills through small-sided play and imaginative drills. With the ball always in play and multiple balls being tossed on the field, players stay engaged and get plenty of touches as they begin to learn team dynamics.

 4 v 4 League (1st Graders)

Fast-paced and exciting, our 4 v 4 league is designed to maximize development at this age and start to build the feeling of playing for a team. No goalies and constant action help players sharpen dribbling, passing, and decision-making in a supportive team environment.

5 v 5 League (2nd + 3rd Graders)

This is where the game starts to feel real. Players compete with real goals and goalies  for the first time, learning how to attack, defend, and play in more defined positions. We also introduce divisions based on team level — allowing us to group teams into brackets that create fun, competitive matchups each week. 

7 v 7 League (4th + 5th + 6th Graders)

This is a major step up — fields get bigger, goals get bigger, and rosters expand. Players begin to experience a more realistic version of the game, with defined positions and more tactical awareness. It’s still developmental at heart, but now with more space, more roles to explore, and more chances to grow as a team.

9 v 9 League (7th + 8th Graders)

This is where it all comes together. Our middle school league prepares players for high school soccer with larger teams, real positions, and full tactical gameplay — all while maintaining a focus on learning and love for the game.
