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

Where is my game schedule?
We use a software for our game schedules that has a FREE ap for our parents. Once you download the ap, it will show you your entire games schedule. It also shows you practice times. And sends you game reminders, as well as practice reminders. Our parents love this ap. It makes evertything super easy!
How much is it?
Ages 4 – 13 – $144 and $43 Uniform – Total is $187.
For returning players, it is $144. We are one of few organizations that do NOT require you to purchase a new uniform every season. Instead you can wear your uniform for as long as it fits.
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.
