About

The club serves players from U6 through U15 in its travel program and U6 through U8 in its academy program, competing in the Elite Development Program (EDP) league. Founders FC emphasizes player development, leadership, and sportsmanship while maintaining a transparent, affordable fee structure that rejects the 'pay to play' model. All coaches are certified through US Soccer and the Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA) licensing programs. The club also offers scholarship opportunities for families with financial need and has a pipeline from its academy into competitive travel teams.
