Our Guarantee

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are going to extend Tryouts for as long as we need to provide a psychologically and physically safe environment for kids to play soccer.

In these uncertain times, we are also holding firm on making travel soccer affordable to everyone. We understand the financial burden that Travel Soccer can have on families and at Dynamo we provide a high level and professional atmosphere for players and families without the expense that comes with it. In addition, for EVERYONE that registers to play for the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 season, we are GUARANTEEING a 100% refund* if there is no Fall season.

❗️ A MESSAGE FROM OUR GENERAL MANAGER ❗️

Over the past week, the staff and I have had many conversations with the members of our Dynamo Programs. The underlying concern that we have heard is:

“What happens if the Fall Season is canceled?”

* A guaranteed refund will be provided if the Fall 2020 Season is canceled. * (Details Below)

We are extremely hopeful that the fall season will not be altered in any way, however, at this time any money that is collected for the 2020-2021 Travel Season will be set aside to provide ALL of our travel families a guaranteed refund should the Fall 2020 Season be canceled in full. IF the 2020-2021 season is partially canceled, finances will be reviewed and a partial refund will be given based on the timing of events, cancellations, etc.

Travel Soccer in a nut-shell

The Dynamo Travel Program excels in offering a physically and psychologically safe environment for children of all ages to enjoy participation in soccer at varying competitive levels, at a reasonable financial cost. "We strive to develop quality people, quality players.".

Dynamo Soccer Club is a not-for-profit organization established to promote and develop an interest in soccer in Hanover County and surrounding areas by sponsoring, organizing, and operating competitive, developmental, and recreational soccer teams for children aged 3, up to 19.  Dynamo Travel is owned by Commonwealth Soccer Programs L.L.C.

The Dynamo Soccer Club Travel program strives to create quality people, to create quality players, and to win matches without compromising our character and ideals.

As with any developmental process, players develop over long periods of time, through hard work, effective training, and dedication to personal improvement. The program places the most emphasis on training, where coaches have the best opportunity to teach players. During games, our coaches reinforce training themes and goals and instruct players at key moments and within individually oriented environments. Gone are the days of yelling from the sidelines. Our players are expected to find solutions to on-field situations themselves through creative thinking and pro-active play.

Dynamo Soccer Club, Travel Program, holds our coaches, staff, players, and parents to the highest standards of educational practices and professionalism, and is confident our players and families will enjoy their travel soccer experience as a result.

Dynamo Travel Coaches

Dynamo Soccer Club has an extensive professional coaching staff.  Many have played collegiately, coached collegiately, and some have played professionally.  Dynamo prides itself on having a diverse and experienced staff that is licensed and qualified in the latest youth development techniques.

The coaching staff works from a curriculum delivered at the grass-roots level by the Director of Coaching.  Dynamo is developing players through a consistent soccer environment where players can learn and thrive.  

There are three primary objectives in our player development structure:

1. To develop quality people who exhibit examples of leadership, responsibility, honesty, acountability and sportsmanship
2. To develop quality players that demonstrate clean technique and skills, quick and creative decisions, and an understanding of the game of soccer. 
3. To win in all areas of life, without sacrificing or ignoring the first two objectives.

All of our coaches are placed in our program because they have an immense amount of soccer knowledge to give back to the children who participate in the game.  Coaches are typically placed with teams for 2 seasons only and then teams are passed on to other coaches.  Dynamo truly believes it "takes a village to raise a child".  The Dynamo Travel staff works within our curriculum and club philosophy.
