May 15 -- Fairfax Police Youth Club (FPYC) has accepted 23 Braddock Road teams into their Annual Father’s Day Tournament, June 16-17.  BRYC will be among at least 25 local soccer clubs sending a total of over 400 teams (over 5,000 kids) to compete in age groups from U8 to U19 in both Boys and Girls Divisions.

After a fall season in which All Star practices were delayed until after the regular season rain date, with coaches having less than two weeks to bring a cohesive team together, this season saw BRYC get an earlier start on the process.  Recreational coaches scouted recreational squads early in the season; All Star coaches conducted an open scrimmage for all interested players in their age group, selected their squads, and are now beginning practices with the players they have chose to participate.  It was a tougher job than usual winnowing down a list of deserving kids to a roster of from 10-18 players depending on the age group.

If you have been chosen to participate in the FPYC Tournament, click here to get to the BRYC Tournament web page for more information, including, the return of BRYC All Star spirit wear, a 15% discount on soccer gear from The Soccer Post, and a 15% "Win, Lose, or Draw" discount on great food at the Dogfish Head Alehouse, (located right next to The Soccer Post at the Chantilly Town Center on Route 50) on the two tournament days.  June 16-17 will be an exciting weekend and you don’t want to miss these opportunities for making it even more memorable.

BRYC Elite Travel Soccer has annnounced the scheduling of its innaugural BRYC Fantastic 4 soccer tournament. Conducted in partnership with Robinson Secondary School, Fantastic 4 is a weekend-long event open to youth U8 through U16 and adult coed (U16 and older) divisions.

Each team entered in the tournament will play a minimum of four games on one of the two weekend days. Competiton will be 4v4 but each team may carry up to six players on its roster.  There will be tiered levels of competition designed to promote balance, with awards for 1st and 2nd place in each tier and age level.

The application fee is $175.  The deadline for entry applications is June 1.   For more information and links to complete tournament rules and online entry, click here.  Questions? Contact Chris Jennings.

March 7 -- On the heels of a most successful winter soccer program dubbed "Friday Night Lights" in which up to 70 players showed up at Wakefield Park on any given Friday night for some friendly compeition, orgnizers John Kelleher and Bob Brennis have gone a step further and formed a new adult club to be known as "Braddock FC" which will be participating this spring in the Northern Virginia Soccer League (NVSL). Far from "pickup" matches, NVSL is a well organized competitive league with three divisions (not unlike European "football") in which teams move up and down from season to season based on their competititive results.

The establishment of an NVSL club is not taken lightly, requiring a significant financial commitment from each of the players, not to speak of regularly scheduled pratices and matches. But with moral support (and a limited financial guarantee) from the BRYC Rec Soccer Executive Committee, and after the success of Friday Night Lights, John and Bob determined that there was enough interest among "over 18" players to pursue the opportunity and extend themselves a bit further...and they were right. Approximately twenty players, mostly alums of "Friday Night Lightts" and the BRYC Recreational Soccer program, have signed up for the squad for the spring season.

Kudos to John and Bob for their commitment to BRYC, which is proud to offer its support, and their commitment to the group of young men, some of whom they have been coaching for a number of years as U16/19 players, who will carry the Braddock banner. (Don’t be fooled by the fact that they will be wearing red jerseys!)

BRYC, the Braddock Road Youth Club, is a non-profit organization in Fairfax County, Virginia, established in 1968 to offer a variety of youth sports activities in the Burke/Annandale/ Springfield, Virginia area.  BRYC Soccer is divided into two programs, Recreational Soccer and Travel Soccer.  This web site is devoted exclusively to BRYC’s Recreational Soccer program, consisting of neighborhood-based teams. Any youth that signs up to play in the recreational league will be placed on a team.  For information on BRYC Travel Soccer, go to brycsoccer.com.
