Special opportunities during the 2 week Preseason include:
D.C. United/Washington Spirit Day – DC SCORES staff will lead a soccer session where we’ll bake in some exercises to get the kids excited about our official partners, D.C. United and the Washington Spirit
Pizza Party – During Preseason, one service learning practice can be switched to a pizza party. DC SCORES can reimburse up to $100. Please save your receipts and text/email them to your site manager for reimbursement.
Parent meeting – we would like each school to host a parent meeting to inform parents about the upcoming Spring season. This could be the same day as the pizza party if you would like to combine the two.
