Programs & Services

From a first U6 touch on the ball to a college commitment, Dutch FC runs one connected pathway. That's exactly what every program below provides: coaching built on the same Dutch methodology, tuned to a different age, level, or goal, at no extra layer of complexity for families.

Which one of these sounds like you?

Most club websites make you read eight program descriptions to find the one paragraph that applies to your family. Pick your situation instead.

  • My child has never played on a club team.

    Start with a camp. It's a week, it's $145, there's no tryout and no membership required — so you get to see our coaching and our environment before committing to anything. Most families who join us started here.


    From there, the usual next step is TIPS skills training, or trying out for an Academy team if your child is U10 or younger.

    Camps and skills training
  • My child is 10 or younger and ready for a real team.

    Academy is the U10-and-under program — real teams, real coaching, built around fundamentals and falling in love with the game. Two six-month seasons a year, and dues are the lowest of any team program we run.

    Academy teams
  • My child is 11 or older and plays competitively already.

    Select is our competitive program for U11 and older — 31 teams competing in ECNL Regional League North Texas and NTSSA leagues. Teams are placed at Advanced, Intermediate or Developmental level through our Squad System, so your child competes where they'll actually be challenged.


    Tryouts are typically held in May for the following season. Mid-season additions are possible when a roster spot opens.

    Select teams
  • My child plays for another club but needs more touches.

    TIPS Performance Academy and our camps are open to players from any club — no tryout, no membership. TIPS runs on Fridays specifically so it doesn't collide with a typical team practice schedule.


    This is the honest version of the 80/20 argument: development happens in training. If your child needs more repetitions than their current team gives them, come get them here.

    TIPS Performance Academy
  • I'm 18 or older and I still want to play.

    Two options. The 1st Team competes in the UPSL against former college and professional players — that's the top of our pathway. The adults program is for players 18+ who want competitive soccer without the semi-pro commitment.

    1st Team and adults
  • My child is a goalkeeper.

    Our Club Goalkeeper Program is free to Dutch FC keepers aged U11–U18 — position-specific training every Monday with a dedicated goalkeeper coach. Most clubs charge separately for this, or don't run it at all.


    Private training and keeper camps and clinics are also available.

    Goalkeeper training

One club, from U6 to semi-professional

Most clubs in this market hand a player off somewhere — to a different club at U11, or to nothing at all at U18. Since we added the 1st Team in 2026, a player can start here at six years old and play adult semi-professional football without ever leaving.

U6–U10

Foundation

Academy

17 teams. Fun, fundamentals, and falling in love with the game. Two six-month seasons a year.

Club Teams

Competitive and select boys' & girls' teams from U6 through U18, placed through the Squad System so every player trains at the level that challenges them most.


Teams compete across ECNL Regional League North Texas, Pre-ECNL, National Premier League, Regional Premier League, Classic League, Girls Classic League, Elite League, and US Club Soccer.

The 1st Team

Dutch FC's senior men's team plays in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), the 4th tier of the U.S. soccer pyramid, just below the professional ranks.


It's a competitive outlet for players who've aged out of the youth pathway but aren't done playing, and a visible standard for the club's younger squads to train toward.

Skills Training, the TIPS curriculum

Weekly technical sessions built around the club's TIPS method: Technique, Insight, Personality & Speed, aimed at rapid, measurable improvement between regular team trainings.


Best for players who want extra touches on the ball, focused first-touch and finishing work, or a head start before tryouts. Open to Dutch FC players and non-members alike.

“Every program runs on the same foundation: ball mastery, decision-making, and game intelligence, just tuned to a different age and goal.”

— Dutch FC Coaching Staff

Camps & Goalkeeper Training

TIPS-based sessions for every level, plus position-specific goalkeeper coaching at no extra cost for club keepers.

Q  -  What levels of camp does Dutch FC run?

A - Developmental, Intermediate, and Advanced camps, all built on the same guided-discovery coaching method used in club training, open to members and non-members.

Q  - Is goalkeeper training included for club keepers?

A - Yes. Every Dutch FC goalkeeper receives weekly, position-specific training at no extra cost, covering handling, diving, footwork, positioning, and distribution.

Q  - What ages can join skills training?

A - The Club Goalkeeper Program is for Dutch FC goalkeepers ages U11 through U18.

Personality & Speed

Personality and Speed are generally innate qualities but can both be positively influenced in the right environments. We encourage players to express their Personality with a winning mentality by improving their Work Ethic, Adaptability, Mental Toughness, Leadership, Focus, Confidence, Positivity, Coachability, Communication, Team-Work, Responsibility, Respect and Discipline. Speed is often thought of as only a physical part of the game, which it is, but it also consists of Technical Speed and Tactical Speed. A Slow Physical player can seem physically faster when they apply Technical and Tactical Speed.

How the pathway works

1

Try out for your age group

Register for tryouts and train with coaches who evaluate technical ability, game intelligence, and coachability, not just athleticism.

2

Get placed on your squad

Every age group runs multiple connected teams. Placement reflects your current level, not a permanent ranking.

3

Train, compete, and move up

Add camps, skills sessions, or GK training as needed, and move between squads as your game develops.
