About City Soccer

City Soccer programs were founded in New Orleans, LA just after Hurricane Katrina. We have been serving players and families across the city for nearly twenty years. Given the chance to begin in a city starting over, our purpose has been to create and operate a better model for US Soccer—that can be applied at a local level by working hand-in-hand with traditional US Soccer programming. Most City Soccer sessions are open and attended at will, after completing registration and introduction. Our curriculum will work well with the coaching philosophy at any team or club. We teach players to recognize, understand, and navigate the game, individually and in a group. We teach concepts that are critical for American players to realize early on—in the ways American players tend to struggle later in the high-level game. We are truly development centered. Our programs are best used flexibly and often enough time. We provide what players and families need, but is not typically available or affordable. In the process, we also serve those teams, clubs, and organizations for which they play—over the course of their time in local soccer. We are a true non-profit offering a low-cost solution for US Soccer. This means three things: 1) that our primary focus is not maximizing revenue from participants. 2) While our numbers work, we put any left-over revenue back into the services we provide 3) We are specifically aimed to help American players and the American game. Some sessions are completely free. Others have a cost. Our sessions are by level and meet players at their edge, beginners to top adults. For players aspiring to play college soccer, we definitely have you covered. Extra help is available if you need to catch up or hone specific needs. Goalkeeper training takes place all year, as well. We are here not just for players, but for parents. Youth soccer in this country is expensive and confusing — full of fragmented leagues, inconsistent messaging, unchecked clubs and coaches. Our participants come from every organization in the local market, and they talk about it. We understand the local landscape. We want to help parents understand and make informed decisions, as they attempt to navigate the local system.
