Washington Capital United

Capital Travel Sports' only service is to administer youth Travel soccer. In 2021-2022, Capital Travel Sports, d/b/a Washington Capital United, fielded 28 teams in 11 age groups. Approximately 410 boys and girls registered for club teams, an increase of approximately 10.5% over the previous year, and our largest roster ever. Players ranged in age from 6 years old to 19 years old. For the first time, we 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. 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. To that end, we improved upon our previous year of having one team nationally ranked, to having three teams nationally ranked. Note: covid significantly impacted our operations for the end of the 2020- 2021 soccer and fiscal year. The spring season was lost. Continuation of operations required an sba ppp loan, which allowed for staff retention, but the impact to services saw a loss of revenue for end-of-year collections.
