Since 2017, ECFC has been an entirely open soccer club, for supporters and players alike. Too often, American soccer has closed itself off from an enormous pool of talent due to the oversaturation of the pay-to-play youth club model, creating even greater rifts in accessibility for lower income players of all ages.

We are a club that puts great effort and resources toward each of our players. Since its founding, a principle of our club is that no player is required to pay any fee to participate in our programs or join our teams. This obviously limits the number of players we are able to place on our squads, but through evolving our structure as a business and as an organization, we plan to provide additional experiences to thousands more players, from beginners to elite professional athletes, in the years to come.
