Foundry Football Club — Montgomery County, MD

Who We Are

We build players.
And people.

Foundry FC was built from the ground up on one conviction: youth soccer can be done better. More integrity. A clear player pathway. And a development-first commitment.

"A foundry is where raw material is shaped into something strong and lasting. That's what we're here to do."

Our Director of Coaching sets the curriculum for every team, every age group. There is no variation in philosophy across Foundry FC. Every player is developed with the same intentionality and care.

Craft

We take the work of development seriously — at every age, every level, every session.

Integrity

We coach and operate with honesty, even when it's hard. No politics. No surprises.

Resilience

We develop players who can handle adversity on the pitch and in life.

Belonging

Every player who earns a spot here belongs here, regardless of background or means.

Pathway

We think long-term, always — developing the player in front of us and planning for where they're going next.

Devin Payton

Director of Coaching

Devin Payton brings over 25 years of player and coach development experience to Foundry Football Club. Throughout his career, he has worked with players at every level — from grassroots development through ECNL and ODP — building a reputation as one of the most respected development coaches in the DMV region. Devin holds a USSF B license and has coached youth futsal teams to victory in two US Futsal National Championships.

Prior to his coaching career, Devin played professional soccer in Brazil, throughout the United States, and on the US Men's Futsal National Team. He is fluent in Spanish.

At Foundry FC, Devin oversees all technical curriculum and coaching standards across every age group. His philosophy centers on building technically complete, mentally resilient players who understand the game deeply — and who carry the character they develop on the field into everything they do.

"Development isn't a shortcut. It's a commitment — to the player, to the process, and to doing the work right."
