About Us

Our Mission is to promote youth soccer player development in Northampton and its surrounding communities through the offering of an advanced, competitive soccer program; to promote the sport of soccer in the community; and to develop sound bodies, keen minds, positive competitive attitudes and the spirit of teamwork and good sportsmanship.
 
NSC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is volunteer led and run.   Board members, coaches, team managers, parent cheerleaders, publicists - all are necessary to keep our club strong.  If you have a special skill to contribute, or just want to get involved, please send an email to: [email protected].

NSC was formed in 1991 and has been fielding teams in the Pioneer Valley Junior Soccer League since that time.  In 2016,  NSC moved its travel teams to the Roots Soccer League and  joined forces with the Northampton Youth Soccer Association to run the local recreation league in coordination with the Northampton Parks and Recreation Department.
