Rooted in values of inclusivity, development, and community service, the club has made it a mission to give back to the local area in meaningful ways.
Award-Winning Commitment to Youth Sports
DMCV Sharks has long been recognized as a leader in youth athletics. The club has been voted the Best Kids Sports League on the North Coast for the 12th consecutive year as of 2024. This honor is a testament to the club's dedication to providing top-tier coaching, excellent facilities, and a nurturing environment where players of all skill levels can thrive.

From young beginners experiencing the joy of soccer for the first time to elite players preparing for collegiate and professional opportunities, the club ensures that every athlete has a place to grow and succeed.
Financial Assistance for Families in Need
Understanding the financial challenges that some families face, DMCV Sharks has made it a priority to support its community through financial aid. The club provides an average of over $100,000 per year in player financial assistance, making soccer accessible to all children, regardless of economic background.
Supporting Local Schools and Youth Programs
DMCV Sharks believes in strengthening the entire community, not just its players. The club actively supports local schools through financial sponsorships and physical participation in school events, fundraisers, and athletic programs. Whether through direct contributions or hands-on involvement in school soccer clinics and training sessions, the club consistently invests in the next generation of student-athletes.
A Lasting Impact
The club's commitment to community engagement goes beyond the soccer field. Through volunteer work, fundraising efforts, and partnerships with local organizations, DMCV Sharks continuously fosters an environment where giving back is just as important as winning on the pitch.
