Mission: At Girls Unite, we believe soccer is more than just a game—it’s a powerful tool for empowerment, leadership, and creating safe, inclusive spaces where young players can thrive. Girls Unite was founded in 2015 with a singular vision: to center girls in youth sports, providing a positive and rigorous environment where they are genuinely supported and valued both on and off the pitch. We view each of our players through a holistic lens and encourage and support their learning and growth to become their best selves, valuing their ability to learn and grow. We aim to build soccer skills, character, and community.

Our innovative approach has already proven effective: -Breaking Barriers for Women in Coaching: We’re one of the few clubs to offer health and retirement benefits for coaches, making coaching a sustainable career option and attracting high-caliber female role models for our players. -Fostering Inclusivity and Equity: Through programs and initiatives rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), we ensure every player feels valued and empowered.

Girls Unite is more than a soccer club—it’s a community where young girls are empowered to lead on and off the field.
