Dakota Alliance Soccer Club

What the club offers

DASC runs recreational soccer for ages 4–18, Premier soccer for ages 10–19, Academy for birth years aligned to U9–U10 play (including updated US Soccer age bands beginning fall 2026), Junior Academy for the 2018 birth-year cohort, Youth Development Academy (YDA) for ages 3–10, camps, Soccer Stars adaptive soccer, Footskill Factory training, and adult league options. Summer Elite Training is not currently offered.

Youth Development Academy

YDA splits into Kickstart (3- and 4-year-olds), Jumpstart (5–6), and Touchsmart (7–10) with year-round weekly sessions meant to teach first touches or sharpen basics before rec league games. Spring 2026 indoor blocks use the DASC back turf room on West 39th Street in Sioux Falls, while Winter 2026 sessions use Sanford Fieldhouse at 2215 West Pentagon Place, Sioux Falls, SD 57107, with a maximum of 14 players per age band for that spring block. Abbey Miller serves as Youth Development Director.

Recreational soccer

Recreational teams are formed by gender, school, grade, and—for preschool—geography, without tryouts. Returning fall players usually stay on the same spring team unless the rec director helps move them to another school-based fit. Volunteer coaches receive team shirts, and games stay in Sioux Falls on club fields, including Yankton Trail Park. Most teams play one match per week during the season; spring 2026 runs April 7 through June 1, with Saturday games, Sunday games after 1:00 p.m. (except U5/U6, which skip Sundays), and occasional Thursday or Friday evening slots, while Monday and Tuesday evenings are reserved for weather makeups. Anyone playing competitive soccer inside or outside DASC may not join DASC recreational leagues at the same time, and recreational players may not double up with the DASC adult league.

Competitive pathways

Academy soccer targets U9–U10 players who show advanced technical skill, athleticism, aggression in games, strong focus, and a soccer-first schedule; Jordan Salamido is the Academy Director (605-900-6809). Premier programming covers ages 10–19. High school–aged Premier candidates (2007–2011 birth years) contact the head coach for their age band to arrange a tryout; those tryouts fall in the third and fourth weeks of October right after the South Dakota high school season. Gabe Wortman is the interim Director of Competitive Soccer (605-661-7887, academy@dakotaalliancesoccer.com) for Premier questions.

Fees, registration timing, and year-round rhythm

Recreational fees are tiered by school grade: preschool through second grade (U5–U8) $90 per player, third and fourth grade (U9–U10) $100, fifth through eighth (U12–U14) $110, and ninth through twelfth / high school U19 $110. The only required recreational expense is that registration fee. Guaranteed roster placement for spring 2026 required registration by February 16, 2026, and refunds stop once the initial registration window closes. Other programs set their own fees; families should watch each program’s signup when it opens.

Programming generally runs August through July each cycle, with exact start and end dates adjusting for weather, facilities, how many players enroll, and safety requirements.
