Program Director

Our goal is to provide opportunities for players at all levels and to drive the game forward locally.

Soccer is for everyone.

We pride ourselves on being the fastest-growing program in western PA, and the first program with a full development pathway for both men and women.

In addition to our club offerings, we believe in giving access to soccer—through our Developmental Programs—to all players who want to play.

What makes us different?
  • Phase Model of development
  • Player-first approach
  • Quality of our staff
  • Men's USL League Two & Women's USL W League First Teams

Our development pathway uses a Phase Model from youth to adult.

Throughout a player's time with our club, they will develop through a carefully tailored curriculum from a variety of coaches. At each age, players will be working closely with a team of coaches who are specialized at training players in their age range.
