Our History
Founded in 1992, the Seacoast United Soccer Club started out with a simple mission of providing equal opportunities for youth athletes of all ages and abilities with a chance to learn the game of soccer. Soccer is not just a game; it is a way of life for the Seacoast United Soccer Club staff. The Full-Time staff members of the Seacoast United Soccer Club have developed a unique philosophy that emphasizes a learning friendly yet competitive environment where youth athletes are exposed to all aspects of the game allowing them to develop progressively over time. This approach to the game of soccer not only provides youth athletes with the tools to improve various aspects of their game on the field such as fundamental skill work, tactical execution, teamwork and sportsmanship but produces versatile players who are well prepared as well for life off the field.
The Seacoast United Soccer Club provides a developmental Player Pathway for players of all levels. The Seacoast United Academy (Epping, NH) program is at the pinnacle of the Club development Player Pathway. MLS Next (Boys) and Girls Academy (Girls), opportunities are at the Elite and Premier levels for U8-U19 boys and girls at each of the locations for the Club.

Club Philosophy
The philosophy of the Seacoast United Soccer Club is to promote soccer to the youth and young adults in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The Club provides an infrastructure that will facilitate the game of soccer, not only giving youth and young adults a place to play, but also the ability to compete at different levels. This allows all participants to remain engaged in soccer and develop appropriately to their skill level.
The Seacoast United Soccer Club strives to enhance the overall interest and provide opportunities in youth soccer via competitive boys and girls teams, coaching clinics, camps, and special programs. The Club exists as a vehicle to provide age-specific advanced training to aid the development of all soccer players. This is achieved by providing a supportive environment for players, coaches, officials, and families to encourage the development of their character, self-confidence, and the skills to enable each player to fulfill their potential as an athlete and become a leader both on and off the field of soccer.
The Seacoast United Soccer Club is committed to providing a well-organized professional soccer program that develops players and coaches to compete at all levels of soccer nationally and internationally.
