  • 2026-2027 PROGRAMS

    Below are dues for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.


    Charlotte Independence Soccer Club structures its membership fees based on the scope and quality of services provided across all levels of play, including access to professional coaching staff, high-quality facilities, comprehensive program alignment, and a clearly defined player development pathway. Our fees are carefully evaluated to reflect the true cost of delivering these best-in-class experiences while remaining as accessible as possible for our families. Any adjustments or fluctuations in membership fees are driven by rising operational costs—both direct and indirect—that impact the club’s ability to maintain its standards and long-term sustainability. We take pride in supporting our members through strong financial policies and user-friendly payment options, including flexible structures and significant financial assistance opportunities. Our commitment remains centered on balancing affordability with excellence, ensuring every player benefits from a high-quality, professionally managed soccer environment.

COMMUNITY

PURPOSE

Our purpose is to develop leadership, accountability, selflessness, humility and character. We challenge our players to respect the game by respecting themselves, the referee, the opponent and the coach. We strive to develop players in an environment that encourages individual expression, as well as responsibility to the team. We dare our players to take risks, play on the front foot, and to embrace challenges. Our players must play with personality and bravery.


We develop the person first…then the player.

IDENTITY

Our players and teams should reflect a passion, hunger & desire to succeed on the field. Our players want to support and play for our team with mutual respect & competitiveness.


When we do not have the ball, we should be hard working to win the ball back. When we have the ball, we should be positive, forward thinking & aggressive with the ball. We have a purpose to our play where we increase our chances of scoring through each possession. Our players will pass forwards and run forwards.

 
Our players will be allowed to display their individual soccer personalities and to express themselves as we learn to play for fun, for the love of the game and with the competitive nature that comes from rigorous competition on the soccer field.


Energy in everything that we do.

GK UNION

A community welcoming every committed goalkeeper to become better at their craft and help them achieve their goals on and off the field.


An environment that will fully immerse them with the skills and repetitions they need to develop.


We believe that a combination of coaching methods and consistently driving the work rate of the players - we can achieve more together.


Learn more about the goalkeeping experience at the Independence from Director of Coaching- Goalkeeping, Matt Brown.
