Charlotte Independence Soccer Club in Fort Mill, South Carolina

“When the Tega Cay soccer director tells you to go coach somewhere else instead of listening or conversating about concerns. That should tell you something about where this program is heading, and I have VOLUNTEERED my time for nearly 3 years.”

“This club is a joke. All they are after is your money, the more you spend the more they’ll ask for. They will bombard you with emails for additional paid training and change uniforms every year just to keep you paying. They mandate full set of uniforms, rain jackets, backpacks, etc for $500+ only to change it the following year. Not only that, but they are dishonest and deceptive and will say anything just to keep…”

“This is the icing on the cake! After choosing Independence over his previous club or other competing organizations, Brody is very happy he chose to come to Charlotte Independence. I have been equally impressed with communication at the club and Brody’s development under Coach Jack and also Coach Tom and Coach Fernando. I appreciate the cost savings related to Brody’s transition from the Competitive team to the ECNL…”

“The team here joined us for an escape room, and as someone watching their teamwork, we were honestly impressed by the energy they brought to our rooms.

It was a joy to watch them and while we hope to have them back, it gives us confidence that children are learning from such…”

“The coaching and administration have always been very helpful and kind to my family. This past season was full of unknowns, but the club communicated very well and did their best to keep kids safe. From my experience, this club holds its players and staff to high standards and expects kids to excel. My children have not only learned soccer fundamentals, but how to be a leader, how to work with a team, and how to be…”

“Bad administration and a complete disregard for their volunteers. Hope Tega Cay and other government agencies that employ this organization to manage their youth programs take a closer look at the many issues and poor management.”

“Every since they took over Tega Cay soccer it has been so unorganized. They use Tega Cay parks for their Clt independence tournaments and the parks that were built for the residents with our tax money aren’t available for us to use. Practices are all over the place and inconvenient now. It was never like this before they took over”
