About

The nonprofit club now runs north and south divisions, serving families from introductory toddler classes through MLS NEXT Homegrown, national girls platforms, and a structured college-placement track.
Programs and competitive pathways
Soccer Stars spring classes at 1849 Park introduce ages two through five to movement and ball skills with parent-friendly Monday blocks. Cap City Jr Academy covers Under 7 through Under 10 (birth years 2016–2020 in the 2025–26 cycle), with teams formed by birth year and ability, two weekly trainings, optional extra sessions, fall and spring seasons, and a bridge into Select after the U10 year. Boys and girls Select teams span U11–U19 in the US Youth Soccer league structure, with May tryouts, two league tournaments included, an optional third training day, monthly payment plans, sibling discounts, and college-placement support baked into the model.
