Welcome to PPA's Soccer Leagues
The Developmental Experience
When Players and Parents join our Development Programs, they can expect:
Development Soccer
PPA Development Soccer Leagues are the most popular Soccer Leagues in the DC and Maryland region. Players can join as free agents or with a group of friends to play on school or neighborhood teams. Each team is managed by professional coaches who follow a developmental curriculum built by PPA and DC United Staff. League games are meant to be fun and competitive, and each season ends with its own tournament. Our Development Program is all about growing passion for sport and passion for personal growth.
We have 2 goals with our Development Program:
1) How can we recreate all the great moments we all had as youth athletes?
2) How can we build an environment that maximizes on the profound lessons taught only through these moments in sports?
To accomplish these goals, we try to provide flexible options for parents and an exciting and passionate, atmosphere for players. Our coaches encourage players to be competitive and strive to improve, while also focusing on development and building team camaraderie. Our aim is to graduate great athletes and great people.
