At EriStars, development extends beyond soccer. We encourage young people to grow as students, teammates, leaders, and active members of their communities.
EriStars promotes academics, encourages volunteering and helps young people prepare for life after high school, while staying connected to their heritage and community.
Opportunities vary from season to season. Contact the club for what is currently available.
We encourage every player to give their best effort in the classroom, and we celebrate academic milestones, including our graduates, as proudly as wins on the field.
Through its Path to College focus, the club shares information on preparing for higher education, along with scholarship and internship opportunities as they become available.
High school players can take part in volunteer activities that may count toward Student Service Learning (SSL) hours, subject to the requirements of their school system.
EriStars was founded within the Eritrean-American community. We take pride in that heritage and in building relationships with families from across the DMV.
Volunteering is part of club life. Players, parents and supporters help make the season possible and give back to the wider community.
