ADP Pre-Travel 2026/27 Season
August 31 – October 24, 2026 · Pole Green Park, Mechanicsville VA
The Advanced Development Program (ADP) is designed for rising U7 and U8 players who are looking for a more advanced training environment. Each week, players participate in two training sessions on Mondays and Fridays, along with a Saturday match day.
Training sessions are led by licensed travel coaches and focus on building a strong technical foundation. The primary goal of ADP is to develop each player's technical ability and fast footwork skills, with an emphasis on improving overall game understanding and decision-making throughout the season.
On match days, players compete in a 4v4 format to maximize touches on the ball and encourage creativity in game situations. A typical Saturday may include intrasquad scrimmages, matches against older Dynamo recreational teams, and games against clubs from around the Richmond metro area. Some matches against outside clubs may require minimal local travel.
Birth years for the 2026/27 season are 8/1/2018 through 7/31/2020.
