AC Pacifico Training Philosophy
At AC Pacifico, our training philosophy is built on the belief that true soccer development comes from mastering the fundamentals, practicing with purpose, and fostering a love for the game. We focus on creating a positive, supportive environment where players improve their technical skills, build confidence, and grow both as athletes and individuals. Through consistent, purposeful training, we aim to develop not just skilled soccer players, but strong, well-rounded individuals who can compete with heart and integrity.
Join the Team
Try outs
At AC Pacifico, we’re looking for more than just talent — we’re building players who lead with heart, discipline, and teamwork. Joining our club means becoming part of a community that believes in growth, respect, and opportunity for all. We were born not out of a business plan, but out of frustration with the pay-to-play system that too often puts quality soccer out of reach for talented kids from working-class families.
Each year, AC Pacifico hosts open tryouts for players ages 11–18.
Tryouts are free and open to all motivated youth soccer players ready to test their skills and commitment.
During tryouts, coaches look for:
-
Technical ability – ball control, passing, first touch
-
Tactical understanding – awareness, positioning, decision-making
-
Work ethic – hustle, focus, and willingness to learn
-
Team attitude – respect, coachability, and positivity
Players who stand out are invited to join AC Pacifico compete in the Washington Premier League (WPL).
