TAR HEEL SOCCER CLUB
Our program began in 1979. Since then, we’ve won 22 national championships, 22 ACC tournament championships and 24 ACC regular season championships. We’re also the college home of multiple Olympic gold medalists, national players of the year, All-Americans, ACC players of the year and All-ACC team members. Every day we put in the necessary work to continue building upon our legacy that is Carolina Women’s Soccer.
They’re simple. Put the team first, always. Improve our skills, collectively and individually. Serve as ambassadors for UNC on and off the field. Defend our turf. Win.
While our program is synonymous with winning, we’re proud to have a rich tradition of preparing players for greatness once they leave UNC. Whether they play professionally, develop soccer training programs, return to coach at their alma mater, or make waves away from the field, we aim to set ourselves up for success.
“A good coach can change a game, a great coach can change a life.” – John Wooden
