Washington Capital United

Capital Travel Sports' only service is to administer youth Travel soccer. In 2022-2023, Capital Travel Sports, d/b/a Washington Capital United, fielded 17 teams in 9 age groups. Approximately 249 boys and girls registered for club teams. Players range in age from 6 years old to 19 years old. We have organized "pre-travel" instructional groups at the youngest age, in preparation for participation at the older ages in competitive soccer. All players were trained and coached by us soccer federation licensed coaches. All teams trained year- round, and participated in fall and spring league seasons. For the first time, we offered in-door winter training in futsal. Teams also competed in pre- and post-season competitive tournaments. The goal of our programmes is to produce competitive teams in all age groups, via the individualized development of high-quality youth players, not only in technical skill, but in mental strength and sportsmanship as well. Note: covid significantly impacted our operations for the end of the 2020- 2021 and 2021-2022 fiscal years. At the height of the pandemic continuation of operations required an sba ppp loan, which allowed for staff retention, but the impact to services saw a loss of revenue that continued into the 2022-2023 soccer and fiscal years. The organization and youth Sports are still recovering and we are seeing positive strides in the coming year.
