About Concord Soccer
Rooted in community. Committed to development.
Our Heritage
Concord Soccer was founded in 1979 with a simple belief: that soccer could be a vehicle for developing young people and building community. For more than four decades, we have remained true to that mission as a nonprofit organization rooted in North Wilmington, Delaware.
Why We Exist
Concord Soccer Association is a non-profit, community-based organization devoted to the development of youth through the sport of soccer. Our broad-based approach provides opportunities to play soccer at the highest competitive level appropriate, while fostering character development, sportsmanship, skill acquisition and fun in a positive, respectful environment.
How We
Show Up
The Concord Way is the standard by which our players, parents, and coaches carry themselves. It is the foundation of our culture and the promise we make to every family who joins us.
The Concord Way means competing with passion and losing with class. It means respecting the game, the officials, the opponents, and each other. It means that what happens on the field reflects who we are off it. It means showing up for your teammates, your coaches, and your community.
What We Stand For
Community
We support each other on and off the field. We celebrate wins together and learn from losses together. We show up for one another, because that is what community does. Soccer is a vehicle for connection, growth, and belonging.
Accessibility
Concord Soccer is a nonprofit organization, and that shapes everything we do. Every dollar that comes in goes back into the fields, the coaching, and the programs. Our fees are among the lowest in the region because we believe that great soccer should be available to families at every income level. We are committed to making soccer accessible to all.
Development
We believe in the whole player and the whole person. Our focus is on development over winning, on growth over glory. We actively encourage participation in other sports, arts, music, and extracurriculars, because our goal is to help young people grow into confident, capable, compassionate people who happen to love the game. Soccer is the vehicle. Character is the destination.
Excellence
Excellence is about effort, integrity, and showing up as your best self every single day. It is about striving to improve, holding yourself to a high standard, and refusing to settle for mediocrity. Excellence means being a good teammate, a respectful opponent, and a person of character. It means doing the right thing when no one is watching.
Integrity
Integrity is the foundation of everything we do. It means being honest, keeping your word, and acting with honor even when it is difficult. Our coaches are mentors, not just tacticians. Our leadership is visible and accountable. We compete hard while maintaining our values. Integrity is not negotiable at Concord Soccer.
