games and events

DA Summer League

This season, we are endeavoring to Launch a DA Summer League. In the past, DA players have been required to join the rec program for the summer to continue to play games. With increasing participation in our program, we hope to launch a full dedicated league for DA players in which teams will be formed to compete In-House against one another over the course of the season. TO be eligible for DA League your player must have participated in at least one other season of DA during the year. (Fall, Winter, Spring)

DA Unity Games

Each Fall, Winter, and Spring season will incorporate a scrimmage day or event where players compete in our "DA Unity Games" vs qualified Rec teams, or U9 competitive teams. The games are designed to be appropriately challenging for our DA players, and get them experience with playing against new players outside of the DA program. We also seek to schedule games vs other clubs when possible, but cannot guarantee this every season.
