LEAGUES WE PLAY AT
PPA PARTNERS
DC United Partnership
PPA is affiliated with D.C. United Academy’s “Pathway 2 Pro” (P2P) program, offering an exclusive route to professional soccer for its most talented boys. This collaboration with D.C. United and other top DMV youth clubs identifies advanced PPA players for monthly training sessions with peers from other P2P affiliates based on their performance, development, and preparedness. PPA coaches work with D.C. United technical staff in this identification process. If D.C. United considers a player ready for their professional pathway, PPA, D.C. United, and the player's family collaborate to create a developmentally beneficial transition plan to the D.C. United Academy, typically over one to two years with ongoing support. The P2P program provides a unique opportunity for elite PPA players to pursue professional careers.
Washington Spirit
PPA is an official partner of the Washington Spirit, collaborating on curriculum, camps, and coaching to better elevate the female soccer community. Exclusive Appearances by Pro Players Washington Spirit stars like Lena Silano and Anna Heilferty have already joined us at PPA camps to share their journeys and inspire our players. These aren't just photo ops — they’re meaningful, player-to-player connections. Mentorship for Our Female Coaches Through the Spirit’s Female Coaching Mentorship Program, our coaches receive ongoing training and support. This strengthens our technical staff and promotes gender equity in youth coaching, one of our core values. Unmatched Game Day Access From group outings at Audi Field to behind-the-scenes matchday experiences, our players and families get to see the game played at the highest level — while seeing themselves in the pros on the field.
