Our Story
We started with a simple goal of providing opportunities that did not otherwise exist to youth soccer players in our area. Our founding team quickly realized the need for more alternatives for the members of our soccer community, as players, families, and clubs wanted an organization that listened to, and acted based on, the needs of its constituents.
What started as a modest endeavor to provide supplemental and offseason playing opportunities quickly turned into the pursuit of establishing a broader organization to fulfill the decades-long hunger of our region's soccer community.
