Falcons United Announces Free-to-Play Soccer League — A Game-Changer for Eastern North Carolina

In a bold move that’s sending shockwaves through the youth sports community, Falcons United has officially eliminated registration fees for all its programs — making it the first fully donation-powered, Free-to-Play soccer league in Carteret, Onslow, and Craven counties.

That’s right — youth soccer is now 100% FREE TO PLAY.

From recreational leagues to advanced clinics, goalkeeper training, camps, tournaments, and travel teams, every program Falcons United offers is now open to all families — regardless of income, background, or zip code.

This is more than a club decision. It’s a community movement. We’re putting the power back where it belongs — in the community. Every child deserves the chance to play without barriers, and with the support of our donors, volunteers, and local businesses, we’re making that dream a reality.

Why It Matters:

⚽ All Registrations Are Free - We want to open the door to every family

💖 Funded by Community Donations – Families can give what they can, if they can

🦅 Open to All Players – No child will be turned away due to financial hardship

📍 Serving Carteret, Onslow & Craven Counties – Building access and unity across the region

👉 According to a national survey by the Aspen Institute’s Project Play, the average family spends over $1,000 per year, per child on youth soccer — with competitive travel programs often exceeding $3,000 annually.

This revolutionary step comes at a time when the rising cost of youth sports has priced many families out of the game. Falcons United is flipping the script, ensuring that financial status no longer determines a child’s opportunity to grow, compete, and belong.

This isn’t just about soccer. It’s about community. It’s about giving kids a safe, structured place to grow as athletes and as people.

Falcons United projects over 450 players will benefit in the next year alone — a ripple effect that could reshape youth sports across Eastern North Carolina.
