Our Mission

FC Pocono is a non-profit youth soccer organization dedicated to promoting the culture of soccer in NE Pennsylvania and NW New Jersey. Our coaches, board members, and all other dedicated members are UNPAID volunteers.  This is critical to our mission. We do not believe that profit, personal or otherwise, should be the driving force behind a youth soccer club.  Having paid staff members requires more money, a burden that is most often passed on to the players and their families.

Our time, talents, and resources are dedicated to the following objectives:

  • Creating the absolute best atmosphere for player development, placing it above all else and providing the highest quality training at the lowest cost possible.   
  • Providing instructional, recreational, and competitive youth soccer opportunities that develop players at all levels.
  • Building self-esteem and teaching respect, teamwork, skills, and the benefits of good physical health.
  • Developing coaches to the highest level through ongoing training, instruction, and licensing programs.
  • Creating a culture where family is valued, service to community is honored, and growth and learning is fun.
  • Encouraging
    players, coaches, and parents to demonstrate only the highest levels of ethics, morals, sportsmanship and fair play.

We are committed to creating a positive atmosphere of fun and learning for all area children who are interested in playing soccer. We provide quality instruction through our licensed coaches.  

We are
 participating members of the Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League (
www.lvysl.org) and the Elite Development Program League (edpsoccer.com). We compete with teams from all over NE Pennsylvania and NW New Jersey. Our dedication to children and desire to develop a life-long love of the game in each player is unparalleled.
