ABOUT THE CLUB

ACCESS FOR ALL

COMMUNITY-FOCUSED SOCCER

Since 2017, ECFC is an entirely open soccer club to supporters and players alike. It is no secret that American soccer has closed itself off from an enormous pool of talent due to the regularity of the pay-to-play youth club model, creating even greater rifts in accessibility for certain players of all ages.

We are a club that puts a great amount of effort and resources toward each of our players. It is a principle of our club that no player is required to pay any fee to participate in our programs or join our teams. This obviously limits the number of players we are able to place on our squads, but we are hopeful that with further funding, we will be able to provide additional club play experiences to many more local players of all ages.

PILLARS OF ECFC

FOOTBALL IS FOR EVERYBODY.

The Pay-To-Play system doesn’t only affect club level soccer, even pick up soccer in America usually has a cost, based on field space, which, in an urban environment just isn’t cheap.

Through working with local organizations and through the support of our sponsors and community ownership group, ECFC is committed to creating free community pick ups and other playing opportunities for any and every footballer.

We hope to dedicate a good deal of our energy toward ensuring that these opportunities are constant and frequent and fun.
