Everything Bethesda families need to know before getting started.
When do sessions start in Bethesda?+
The Bethesda free trial weekend runs July 18-19, 2026. The Bethesda 6-week season runs July 25-26 through August 29-30, 2026 with the same Saturday and Sunday schedule. Potomac is waitlist-only for now.
What is the free trial weekend?+
A full real session — not a watered-down demo. Your child trains with our coaches, you watch, and you only continue if it feels right.
What ages do you coach?+
Ages 2-13+. Groups are split by age and level so toddlers play movement games while older kids do technical and game-IQ work.
Who are the coaches?+
Footie Elite was founded by former professional players. The academy is rated 5/5 on Google by 100+ families in Montreal, and the DMV programs run on the same coaching curriculum.
Is this a tryout? Does my kid need experience?+
No tryouts, no experience needed. 'Elite' refers to the coaching quality, not a selection bar — most kids start as complete beginners.
