We kicked off our first-ever Community Pick-Up Soccer event in Montgomery County, in partnership with BVBIA MD! It was a fantastic evening where players of all ages came together to share their love of the beautiful game and bring the joy of soccer to the community. If you're in the area, don’t miss out! Join us every Friday at 5:30 PM for more fun on the field.

ROCKVILLE, MD – JAN 12TH - MAR 21ST (SUNDAY EVENING GROUP) D Course

The M y y ee Committee are working together to recruit new referees to help ensure that all sanctioned matches have coverage. In just the past few months, a 167% (444 new referees) increase in the total number of new referees has been realized when compared with last year!

As new, first-year referees represent approximately 25% of all licensed referees within Maryland, and as nearly 70% of these referees are children, an Observer program was created to provide game day support at the field. The Observer program is gaining popularity as referees are beginning to ask for Observers to be present at their matches!

IF YOU:

In collaboration with the Washington Spirit, we're thrilled to announce that all participants in the Let’s Play! program will receive complimentary tickets to the Spirit match on October 13th! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Washington Spirit for their invaluable support in empowering us to transform lives.
