Youth Soccer Team in Charlotte

Hope Soccer is excited to offer youth soccer in Charlotte for Ages 13 and Under.  This team can take younger players who are very advanced and would like to play up, or it could make exceptions for less skilled players, who are not ready to play U14 (Travel). Exceptions can be made on a case per case basis. The team is coed, so it is for boys and girls.  This team is for all skill levels. The season is 8 weeks long, which includes atleast 7 games – but typically more because of tournament and double headers. 

Ages 4 – 13 | $144 – Full Season | $43 Uniform

How long is the season?

Each season is 8 weeks long.  You get 8 weeks of practice and 7 weekends of games.

Because of the tournament and possible double headers during the regular season, each team plays atleast 7 games, but most teams play more than 7 games per season.

Each season, we take a break.  For the Spring, we take 2 weeks off around Easter and Spring Break.  For the Fall, we take a 2 week break towards the end of October.  We finish each season before “Memorial Day” (Spring) and “Thanksgiving” (Fall) respectively.

Practice Strategy

Our youth soccer team for Ages 13 and under will focus on field awareness.   Our objective is to teach our players how to use the space on the field creatively!

We will focus on field awarness and movement off the ball.

We will teach our players how to maintain possesion of the ball and the creativity it takes to transition from possesion to attacking and finishing.

We will show our players how to differentiate between individual excellence and team harmony.

At each practice, we share our faith with players wishing to hear. 

Please remember to wear your soccer gear including cleats, and shin guards.  Please bring a water bottle and hand sanitizer.
