The Takoma Tigers started in 2005 as an effort to provide advanced players in the Takoma Neighborhood Youth Soccer (TPNYS) with the opportunity to play with their peers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was born in football. Football is a fantastic and intelligent game which teaches us to live together, how to share when you are better than others. Football is an extraordinary education for life.

     - Michel Platini, former World Player of the Year

 

Much of the TPNYS philosophy continues to drive what we do. We are fundamentally NOT about winning or results. When we play well, winning will come (and it does).  Instead, we ARE about making sure that the kids continue to have fun with their soccer, and that they grow and learn from every game and practice.

We believe that soccer provides many lessons, and the ones not only about soccer are by far the most valuable.

The Tigers now play in the National Capital Soccer League (NCSL), where we play in the highly competitive Division 2.  We welcome that challenge, but will not be changing our approach to match other organizations with a greater focus on results.
