DAA County Soccer Info 

DAA’s County Soccer program is a competitive recreational soccer program which promotes fair play, good sportsmanship, and having fun. We devote a particular focus toward player development and creating a stress-free learning environment for players age 7 through 18. Our boys and girls teams are registered in the Anne Arundel Youth Soccer Association (AAYSA) for both Fall and Spring seasons. The AAYSA is a county-sponsored recreational league that supports several divisions for teams at various skill levels.

Overview

The DAA soccer program does its best to group players in their appropriate age group, but based on the number of registrations, roster maximums and skill levels, some players may be grouped differently as necessary. 

Where multiple teams are formed at an age group, evaluations will be utilized to place players appropriately for maximum development and success. County Teams train twice weekly during Fall and Spring seasons, and play games on the weekends. Most games in the fall are played on Saturdays while in the spring most are played on Sundays.

Uniform

DAA provides a uniform to County players in age groups U8 - U18. Jerseys and shorts have been purchased by DAA for each player to use for the duration of each season. If you are a returning player from 2025-2026, you will re-use your uniform. If you are a new player, you will receive a new uniform. If you need a new size, please return the old uniform for a new one. Players are responsible for purchasing green socks to complete their uniform.

Equipment

Players are required to provide their own equipment:

• Shin Guards
• Mouth Guard for Orthodontics
• Soccer Cleats (No baseball or football cleats are allowed)

Coaching

We are always looking for volunteers to coach.  If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact us. All Volunteer Coaches will be supported with a pre-season “Coaching Education” night, access to a full Training Curriculum and season-long session plans, communication and feedback with our Soccer Director. Coaches will be able to request their preferred practice day/time.
