Michael Okpara

Growing up in Prince Georges County, Coach Mike noticed a gap in the development opportunities available for female footballers in the DMV.

 

Smaller clubs strictly prioritized the development of their boys programs, leaving most girls feeling disenfranchised. Larger clubs were available for quality development, but at rates that were unaffordable to the average family. This led to an environment full of passionate young footballers being left without support.

​

Capital City United was developed to address this need. As a coach, Mike's primary goal is developing young girls to meet the standards of a footballer, without restrictions based on gender or finances. His open door policy allows all girls the opportunity experience the benefits of a structured training environment, and his passion helps motivate his athletes to achieve consistent milestones in their development.

Everyone deserves to be a priority.
