Fall 2021 Season Wrap-Up
December 17, 2021
Total Futbol had a great fall this year on both the Maryland and Virginia sides. Many Maryland players participated in high school soccer winning individual and team honors as well as playing with their respective travel teams. Total Futbol launched the inaugural season for DMV FC, a new club based out of Reston, VA, with a number of their teams finishing well in tournaments and their EDP brackets. The fall is capped off by two DMV FC girls teams bringing home the VA State Cup Championship with another girls team still in contention.
With such a stellar season, we are looking forward to continuing our team’s successes through the winter and spring!
