About
DFeeters Kicks Soccer Club, widely known as DKSC, is a competitive youth soccer organization based in Farmers Branch, Texas, serving families across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The club stacks academy development, select programming, and national-league tracks so players can grow from introductory competitive soccer into elite conference play without changing club identity.
What the club offers
DKSC Academy focuses on ages 6 through 10 as the bridge between recreational soccer and select (competitive) soccer: teams form throughout the year, training stresses skill work and sportsmanship, and players may attend open skills sessions with guidance on schedules, locations, league fit, and training fees from the president, club administrator, or an age-group coach. Older pathways are organized into girls and boys ECNL, ECNL Regional League (including North Texas designations), Pre-ECNL, National League Frontier, and select teams, with BADTOP training and a college advisory program (DKSC CAP) rounding out player support.
Leagues and player pathway
Girls ECNL sides compete in the ECNL Texas Conference, and families can follow conference schedules and standings supplied through DKSC for that platform. The player pathway key pairs abbreviations with full league names such as Elite Clubs National League, ECNL Regional League, National Premier Leagues, Frontier Development League, Frontier Conference, Girls Classic League, Chamber Classic Soccer Alliance, Plano Premier Invitational League, Arlington Premier Invitational League, and US Club Soccer, matching how North Texas teams rotate through regional and national structures.
Facilities and training sites
Day-to-day training and games draw on a network of metroplex venues, including Soccer Zone (2323 Crown Rd, Dallas), The Pit Plano (4401 14th St, Plano), Trinity Methodist United Church fields (1200 W. Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington), Mountain View College (4849 W Illinois Ave, Dallas), Money Gram Soccer Park (2200 Walnut Hill Ln, Dallas), Farmers Branch Park (13956 Dennis Ln, Farmers Branch), Melissa Sports Complex (4220 E.

Registration and next steps
Seasonal registration for the 2024–2025 cycle is framed around PlayMetrics: families pre-register player information, then coordinate with the coach or manager for the program they are pursuing so an invitation can move forward when everyone agrees on placement. DKSC operations then issues the PlayMetrics payment invitation, and families finish registration through the email and inbox workflow PlayMetrics provides. New-player questions can also start through the club’s player inquiry form.
