2025 will mark the eleventh year for Dream Center Athletics program for middle school students in Lake Elsinore. DC Athletics was formed when it became clear that there was a lack of affordable physical activities for the youth in our community over the summer months and it has continually expanded in participation and popularity each year.
It all started when a local middle school PE teacher requested the Dream Center to organize and run a free soccer program over the summer months as a way to engage young people in physical activity that also taught them teamwork and life lessons at the same time. The Dream Center has always upheld their motto to "find a need and fill it" in our area and this case was no exception. The response to the program, whether from student-athletes to coaches to parents to sponsors has been awesome.
Testimony of a Coach
“We as coaches were not only there to teach the game, but to champion the love and the grace of God at the same time. This new perspective was quickly made clear as my following practice unfolded. That day, a young girl on my team was fifteen minutes early to practice. As I sat there talking to her about her summer I asked if her day had been good, her response to me was “it’s about to be.” This comment stopped me where I stood, I smiled and continued setting up practice, but that was the first time it really hit me. These kids love playing the game and there is something about the environment in which we play, and the joy and love they feel that makes it more than a game. As our league has continued, I can tell you story after story about the joy I have seen on these kid’s faces. This league has become an atmosphere of joy and a place where these kids desire to be. I am privileged to be a small part of this league and I look forward to watching it continue to influence these kid’s lives.” ~Gabriel Vega (2015 Coach)
This season of DC Athletics will be a week-long intensive July 29th--August 2nd of 2025 from 6pm-8pm at Elsinore Middle School.
