PPA Camps offer the highest-quality youth sports camp experience in the DC and Chevy Chase area, with both summer and holiday options designed for players of all levels. Our summer camps run all season long at top-tier facilities like Georgetown Day School and the Field School, and are led entirely by our professional coaching staff — not seasonal hires — setting us apart from the typical sports camp. We offer full-day camps like our Washington Spirit Camp and NCAA-Themed Camp, perfect for players who want to spend the day playing and learning the game. For more advanced athletes, our evening camps focus on technical development and competitive play. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to sharpen their edge, PPA Camps provide a fun, structured, and high-level training environment.

The PPA Tots Program is designed to introduce children ages 3–5 to sports in a fun, age-appropriate way. At the heart of the program is KiddoBall — our own custom-designed soccer game for little ones, like tee-ball but for soccer — offered free at select parks throughout the year. These sessions are a great first step into the world of sports. For families looking for a more personalized experience, we also offer private classes where parents can form their own group of friends and we'll provide a dedicated coach and schedule that fits your needs. Classes are available in soccer, basketball, lacrosse, or multi-sport, all led by our experienced Tots coaching staff who specialize in making sports fun, safe, and developmentally appropriate for young kids.
