About Us

DCXI is a game changing youth soccer club based in Washington DC.

Players enter the club at U6 (under 6 years old) and older.  We focus on training to develop ball mastery and tactical awareness.  Players train at least three days a week, one of the weekly training sessions last at least three hours long.  Players in the program are absolutely committed to mastering their craft and preparing them selves to excel on the global stage.  The program is for players planning to play soccer at the college or professional level.

DCXI Pro (DCXI Project) soccer club was founded in the fall of 2018. In 2020 Jouons Soccer and WYSA (Washington Youth Soccer Association) joined DCXI to expand the club, including age groups from 5 to 13.

Philosophy

Every player can become a master of the ball and the pitch. We achieve ball mastery and high game IQ through regular extended practice with the ball.  We build deep personal confidence in our abilities through trial, error and adapting to the challenges and opportunities we find on the field.  All of this immersion in the game will allows us to  build a fluent cultural understanding of the beautiful game. 

It's a simple philosophy, focus on training and competing in highly competitive tournaments.  This is in stark contrast to the "youth development" landscape that is prevalent in the United States, the focus is on "travel".  In the traditional model the focus is on "traveling" long distances to play weekly games, where players get few touches on the ball and as a result players skill development and game IQ are stagnated.  From all of our experiences and observations we have seen the traditional model as a handicap to developing players that can compete with their counterparts on the global stage.

We have three simple objectives:

1. Provide players with world-class training that is comparable to any of the leading global soccer development powerhouses.

2. Cultivate an environment where flair and creativity can flourish.

3. Develop at least seven players that will lead the first US Men Soccer team to win the World Cup.
