Charlotte Soccer Academy

What Charlotte Soccer Academy does

Charlotte Soccer Academy is a private recreational youth soccer organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in Pineville, North Carolina, serving families with children in the Charlotte metropolitan area. The company operates seasonal recreational soccer leagues and generates revenue primarily through participant registration fees, which are processed on an annual subscription basis through the Sports Connect online registration platform.

The organization does not build proprietary technology. Its registration, program management, and member authentication infrastructure is entirely powered by Stack Sports' Sports Connect platform, a third-party vendor serving the youth sports industry. Charlotte Soccer Academy maintains a core operational partnership with Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation, under whose umbrella it delivers programs and accesses public field facilities, and a network of 25+ corporate sponsors (including Puma, OrthoCarolina, Dick's Sporting Goods, Harris Teeter, Fox Rothschild, and RSM) who provide brand visibility in exchange for community association.

The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: parents register children online through the registration portal, with the website serving as the primary marketing and information channel. The company is actively operational, with 51–100 employees and a 2026 seasonal registration cycle currently in market. No management team, funding rounds, or financial disclosures were identified in the available data.
