The U-17 Boys will be playing with the Travel Program while the U-19 Boys, U-17 Girls and U-19 Girls teams will continue competing in the Rec Program. Registration activities are currently underway and players are encouraged to come out to one of our weekly futsal sessions in order to stay trim and fit during the winter.

City FC website issues

Monday, January 25th, 2010

The City FC website was hacked in late December.  Due to this the website was taken down and everything was re-installed. While most of the content was readily available from backed ups, the news section was not.  Due to this most of 2009 content is currently missing.  Articles are being re-posted as they are located. We apologize for any inconvenience.

City FC coach moves to USMA at West Point

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Hello City FC Friends and Family,

It is with great excitement as well as sadness that we announce that our own Dan Driscoll has accepted the Assistant Coach and Goalkeeping Coach position with the United States Military Academy at West Point.

While we are sad to see Dan move on to upstate New York we know that professionally Dan is well on his way to a successful career as a college coach. As a result of this move and due to NCAA rules, Dan will no longer be serving as a coach for our teams. Please join us in wishing him all the best in his new endeavor.

Given Dan’s large role in City FC, we want to assure our players, parents and volunteers that our activities will continue and that Dan’s responsibilities are being covered by others within the club. For any issues please email info@cityfc.org and we will be sure to put you in touch with the right person.

The spring season is just around the corner so we look forward to seeing you all back on the pitch soon!

City FC debuts at the MD Futsal State Cup

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

City FC’s U17 futsal team traveled to Maryland to compete in the MD Futsal State Cup, sponsored by the US Futsal Federation (USFF), on January 3, 2010. This was the first futsal tournament opportunity for the U17 team, and served as a valuable learning experience for the team as they lost all four games. According to Roy Kelly, one of the City FC coaches, “despite the losses, the players demonstrated improvement with each game.” The highlight of their tournament came in their last match where they held group champions, Magic Santos, scoreless for the first 10 minutes, displaying that they are capable of holding their own against one of the best teams around. The players are already moving forward, and have begun talking amongst themselves about how they plan to return next year to surprise some of the same teams that beat them this year, says Kelly. Applying the lessons they learned at the MD Futsal State Cup to their advantage, the players are currently competitively playing on different teams in the DC Parks and Recreation Winter futsal League.
