Challenge soccer is an intermediate competitive program that requires players to try out and provides a higher level of competition and commitment than our Recreation program, but lower time and financial commitment than Classic

Juniors prepares players to progress at the Classic level and beyond through a dedicated coaching staff that provides quality, age appropriate instruction at these key age groups.

Our Classic teams compete at the highest competitive level within North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA), as well as in various elite leagues across the country.
