Loudoun East is an extension of Loudoun Soccer  intended to increase access to Travel soccer to players in the Sterling area. Loudoun East was created to provide new and broader pathways for players in Sterling and other portions of Eastern Loudoun.  Loudoun East teams work with grassroots Club Deportivo Sterling to provide competitive soccer programming for players ages U9-U13, while centering their training in their home neighborhoods. 

Directors are Jose Urquizo and Radovan Pletka. As our Community Outreach Director, Jose is focused on closing the gap between Sterling Park and neighboring communities. Loudoun East Director Radovan brings a wealth of experience in youth soccer, as well a long track record of success.

Coaching assignments are under development. As staffing is finalized, they will be posted here. All coaching staff  will be vetted and chosen using Loudoun Soccer's established procedures.

Club Deportivo Sterling is a grassroots club based in Sterling Park, dedicated to making soccer affordable and accessible for every child in the community.  

Loudoun East provides a bridge for these players to progress through the Loudoun Soccer player pathway. Loudoun Soccer will support Deportivo’s mission to provide soccer programming to underserved communities.

Loudoun East teams will compete in the National Capital Soccer League (NCSL) under the Loudoun Soccer banner. NCSL plays games throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

Tryouts for Loudoun East players for the 2025/26 season will be held on Sterling fields in mid-April.  Dates, locations, coaching staff, and registration information will be posted on the Loudoun East webpage when registration opens.

Registration fees for the 2025/2026 seasonal year will be posted prior to tryouts. This fee, which can be paid in installments, includes but is not limited to coach fees, league registration, tournament registration, field usage, administration, referee fees.

Uniform kits are an additional fee and must be ordered upon acceptance. 

A nominal additional team fee may also be required to cover extraneous charges such as additional tournaments, coach travel (where necessary), or team equipment. 

As part of Louodun Soccer's commitment to making soccer more affordable to Lououn famliies, Loudoun Soccer offers a financial assistance program for qualified families. A Financial Assistance application will be provided prior to tryouts for families to apply.  Awards may vary based on individual need and funds available. Team and uniform fees are not covered by financial assistance awards; however, uniforms may be offered at a discounted rate to qualified families.

Loudoun East uniforms will be distinguishable from regular Loudoun uniforms only by a Loudoun East logo on the sleeve of their jerseys.

The 2025/26 season year marks the beginning of the 2-year uniform cycle. All Loudoun Soccer players must purchase a complete uniform kit for the 2025-2027 cycle.

Loudoun East teams will train on Sterling fields.

It won't. Loudoun East is intended to provide competitive opportunities for players in the Sterling area (specifically zip codes 20163, 20164, 20165, 20166, and 20167). Players will be placed according to ability.  

If your current Loudoun Soccer player lives in this area and would like to take advantage of the more localized training locations, please feel free to register to try out for Loudoun East.

While at the outset Loudoun East will host only Travel teams, the Club is considering expanding into Rec camps and clinics in the Sterling area at a later date.

Loudoun East foots to the #WCBWC goals of expanding partnerships with other clubs and community stakeholders, as well as increasing entry points and grassroots opportunities, particularly for players in underserved communities. Loudoun East provides players in Eastern Loudoun a clear pathway to the highest levels of youth play as players mature and grow in the game.
