ABOUT

Much more than a booster club.

We’re an extension of the program

The Tar Heel Soccer Club was created to aid in the success of women’s soccer at Carolina. We help create a home atmosphere that breeds fun, enthusiasm, and pride. Beyond game days, we utilize our resources to provide local youth a chance to experience the game in various ways.

 

Our Values

The Tar Heel Soccer Club has two purposes: offer a membership-based booster club to increase attendance at both men’s and women’s soccer activities and share the benefits of the game of soccer to local youth around the triangle. The UNC programs are two of the most successful programs in the country and our primary intention is to fill the stadium with fan excitement and energy, and there will be many ground-breaking initiatives the Tar Heel Soccer Club will seek to accomplish. 

To increase our membership and expand our reach through recruitment, creative campaigns, and community outreach.

  3. Endurance
  4. Self discipline & motivation
  5. Positivity
  6. Perseverance
  7. Gratefulness
