Dulles FC Information

Background                          

Dulles FC was started to provide local youth players with an alternative to the mega soccer clubs that often place needs of the club before the needs of the players.  We have evolved over time into an organization supporting players within our system and others.  We provide a great resource for a balanced approach to soccer.  Balance in the sense of the way we play and the way we conduct ourselves as coaches, parents, and players. We are not trying to develop the next US national team sensation and not trying to turn a profit.  Rather, Dulles FC is in the business of helping kids learn many of the great life lessons that can come from team sports and help the kids develop a life-long love of the game, helping them stay fit and competitive throughout adulthood. 

The club was also established to give financially challenged players the opportunity to play and train at an elite level.  The club founder and president personally sponsors numerous players for league play, training, and camp each season, and our group of families have a uniquely strong bond that supports the entire program.  Dulles FC has rapidly established itself as a unique club with a strong presence on and off the field.

The Players

Dulles FC has been blessed with devoted and talented players.  Ironically, while creating the best players in the country is not our mission, we find that our approach, attitude, style, and excellent coaching is in fact generating some of the most talented players in Northern Virginia.  Players that thrive in our environment tend to have a team first attitude, the ability to focus at practice and in games, and the work ethic required to flourish in our physically and mentally challenging environment.

The Game

Our style of play is all samba, all the time.  We teach a very Brazilian style of play.  Our teams are known for dynamic runs, lots of overlapping, high levels of ball possession, tremendous foot skills, and wide open play.  We do not have a win at all costs mentality and will at times lose games by sticking with our style of play.  We know the approach pays off in the long run as proven on the international stage.  To play our Brazilian style, mental focus and physical fitness are critically important!  Players must be capable of focusing and following coach and trainer instructions and must enthusiastically give 100% at practice and in games.
