Seneca Soccer Association
The Seneca Soccer Association (SSA) sponsors youth soccer teams in the travel leagues of the Metropolitan Washington, DC area, primarily the National Capital Soccer League (NCSL) for boys and the Washington Area Girls Soccer League (WAGS) for girls.

Since 1984, SSA has a long-standing philosophy of autonomous control by the member teams. We offer a club environment that encourages self-determination by our individual teams and promotes the viewpoint that there is no single formula for success in youth soccer.  Participation, growth, friendships -- these are the measures of a successful youth soccer experience and create a lifelong love of "the Beautiful Game".

In 2003, SSA formed a relationship with the Damascus Soccer Club to co-host the August Cup Tournament, which is played annually the weekend before Labor Day.  To learn more about The August Cup, click here.
