Interested in Joining DSX?
If you have a player interested in joining DSX and would like to attend a training session prior to evaluations, please email Dominique Hoecherl to be connected with the proper coach/team for training prior to evaluations.
​
Want to learn more about competing with DSX? Come meet our team on Thursday, April 30th, 2026 at 8:00 PM at Radiant Life Church (7100 Post Road) for a full program overview. We’ll cover everything you need to know about the full-year commitment, coaching, and our tournament schedule!​​
​
Starting with the 2026-27 season, US Youth Soccer, AYSO, and US Club Soccer will adopt a new age group cycle, transitioning to an August 1–July 31 "school year" calendar. This change aligns players with their academic peers and eliminates the "trapped player" problem, ensuring eighth graders aren't left without a team when older teammates depart for high school seasons.​​​​​​
​
Evaluations
Evaluations are required for both new and returning players.
​
New this year, DSX is offering both preliminary and secondary evaluation windows to ease the burden of conflicting schedules with end of school activities. We'd love to see you for both sessions if your player is available, everyone gets an extra night of fun on the field, but if not please plan to attend one or the other for the appropriate age and gender (the first session is preferred).
All evaluations will take place at DSX's Training Fields at Radiant Life Church
​If you're interested, but unable to make any of the below sessions, contact DSX Director of Coaching Mo Razack.
For general questions regarding the DSX evaluations, contact Dominique Hoecherl.
