Leadership begins with US!
Our mission is to positively impact the development of youth in our community by providing soccer and life-enriching opportunities to young players of all ages and playing abilities, to create a lifelong passion for the sport of soccer, and to help raise the level of soccer in our city, our state and our nation. We strive to play an active role in the leadership, development and personal growth of our players and staff by being an active member of our community through service, partnerships and programs.
Our goal as a club is to encourage, inspire and empower each player and coach to be able to reach the highest level possible within the game and in life, while helping create leaders and individuals that will inspire others to do the same.
Player Pathway: College/University Opportunities
We are also in close partnerships with several soccer organizations specialized in college player’s placement throughout the United States. Several of our coaches have gone through these same agencies and had very successful NCAA careers.
Our objective is to send our talented GLOBAL FOUTBOL STARS 11 players to these institutions to pursue their academic and athletic careers. All players must be part of our club to pursue these opportunities.
