Each year in the United States, more than four hundred people are struck by lightning. On average, about 70 people are killed and many others suffer permanent neurological disabilities. Most of these tragedies can be avoided if proper precautions are taken. When thunderstorms threaten, coaches and sports officials must not let the desire to start or complete an athletic activity hinder their judgment when the safety of participants and spectators is in jeopardy.

Please visit the tryouts page for updated information about travel teams looking to add players for the upcoming season.

Grown-Ups Get A Little Coaching In Sportsmanship

Amid the thuds and slaps of a dozen soccer balls and the happy shrieks of 100 running, kicking, laughing children, one sound was absent at a recent soccer practice of the Burke Athletic Club in southwest Fairfax County: grown-ups.

It’s not that the children were unsupervised. But this was Soccer Festival Wednesday, a weekly gathering when coaches put down their whistles, parents rest their vocal cords and children play not for points, not for victory -- but purely for fun.

While the weather didn’t help, Burke AC’s first annual Soocerfest was a HUGE success. With support from our friends at DC United, Washington Freedom, and Goldenboot Soccer, more than 130 kids played games and learned a little more about soccer while the club collected nearly a half ton of food (literally) and enough soccer equipment to fill an entire minivan.
