At Washington Premier FC, we have developed additional flexibility in our JR. RCL U8 Program. The program is for players ages 5-7. The program has been designed with options to meet the needs of the members that want more soccer and those that want a limited commitment. NEW in 2025, the Jr. RCL Team formation night will now be part of the U8 tryouts. Any U8 players interested in either the U8 Jr. RCL program or the Premier U8 program are encouraged to attend the tryout session on April 22nd and 23rd. This will allow the coaching staff to observe all players and determine the best placement for the player’s development. Click on the following link to view program differences and time line.
The Jr. RCL U8 program offers 3 different options that vary in length with all options focusing on the development of the individual skills necessary to move and control the ball well. After the April tryout session, players will be placed in either the Jr. RCL U8 Program or the Premier RCL U8 Program. Click on the following link to REGISTER NOW for the April 22 & 23 Player Evaluation/tryout dates. There is a $20 non-refundable fee.

Why should my son/daughter play in the Junior Program versus playing up in the Premier Program at U10?
It is very important for any young athlete to have a positive experience and have fun playing their sport. Based on our experience, we have found that putting children in situations that they are not ready for, can become a negative experience for the both the player and family.
