Foundry Football Club is a new kind of youth soccer club — development-first, character-driven, and built for players who deserve better coaching.
Scroll to exploreWho We Are
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.
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.
We take the work of development seriously — at every age, every level, every session.
We coach and operate with honesty, even when it's hard. No politics. No surprises.
We develop players who can handle adversity on the pitch and in life.
Every player who earns a spot here belongs here, regardless of background or means.
We think long-term, always — developing the player in front of us and planning for where they're going next.

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 elite youth competition — building a reputation as one of the most respected development coaches in the DMV region.
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."

U12–U13. High-level league play, regional competition. Character is non-negotiable.
