4 WAYS TO join a DCFC Academy team
Receive a tryout invitation by impressing our Soccer School Coaches!
Soccer School
The DCFC Soccer School is a weekly training program that focuses on improving each player's fundamental technical abilities. We believe that young players need to fall in love with the ball as early as possible. It's a great way to join the DCFC Family, learn about our organization, meet our technical staff and experience our training methods.
Our DCFC Academy Coaches are actively involved in our Soccer School Programming and scout talented players for invitations to train with our Academy Teams. So if you want to become an Academy Player, sign up for a Soccer School trial to showcase your talent and learn to play the Dutch Connections Way!
Be one of the first players considered if a spot opens up on our Roster!
Development Intensive
The most ambitious Soccer School players will get invited to our Development Intensive. Dutch Connections Development Intensive Training Program provides authentic Academy level practices to players that are passionate about their personal development.
The DCFC Academy Coaching Staff works with limited groups of players twice a week. Each player gets a detailed evaluation after each 10-week term. As our Academy Coaches are already involved in the player's progression, Development Intensive Players are always the first ones to be considered for a roster opening!
DCFC offers various Seasonal Development Camps run by Academy Coaches!
DCFC CAMPS
DCFC operates numerous Development Camps throughout the year. Our camps are traditionally held during March Break, Summer Break and Winter Break.
Additionally, Dutch Connections proudly hosts the Feyenoord Camps Canada on an annual basis in July! Feyenoord, one of the premier Dutch Soccer clubs, sends Academy Coaches to the GTA to give local players a special taste of the Dutch training methodology. Thanks to our close partnership, multiple players from both camps and Academy have been invited to tryout for the Feyenoord Youth Academy in Rotterdam!
2025 Spring Tryouts are now complete
OPEN TRYOUTS
The DCFC Academy holds open tryouts twice a year, in the Spring & Fall.
Roster openings can vary from team to team. The process of entering the Academy is very competative but we are always searching for players who are the right fit for our teams.
