What Parents & Players Say About Us

Joining St. Charles FC has been an incredible journey for our daughter and our family! Initially, we were a bit unsure about stepping into club-level soccer in 3rd grade, but after just two practices, it was clear she wanted to be here. Not only was she having a blast, but she was also eager to attend every session, thanks to the engaging and skill-building environment created by the STC coaches. It didn’t take long before we saw a noticeable improvement in her performance on the field. Her ball-handling skills improved substantially, and her understanding of the game became sharper, now instinctively knows what to do and when to do it. St. Charles FC has truly helped her grow as a player, and we couldn’t be more excited about her progress! If you are looking to get into the club soccer scene, St. Charles FC is the right choice for your family!

I have 4 players with the club. At every age and level the coaching staff has been excellent. The club makes efforts to find trained, qualified coaches who understand age-appropriate training. I've witnessed coaches in difficult situations that comes with competitive youth programs, and have always been impressed with how they set a healthy tone with the players involved.

As a parent, we chose St Charles FC because it provided the right environment for our son to continue to develop both as a player and as a person. The coaching staff has been instrumental in his growth, consistently challenging him while also supporting his development. Over the past six years, we've seen him not only improve his skills as a goalie but also grow into a leader on and off the field. The club’s emphasis on teamwork, discipline, and long-term development made it the right fit for him, and we’ve been impressed with how it continues to push him to reach new heights.
