First Flight (ages 3–4) and U6 (ages 4–5) are fully co-ed. For girls ages U8–U12, we have a dedicated program called the Charlotte Eagles Girls Development League (GDL) — built specifically for female players that age. Visit charlotteeagles.com/girls-youth-gdl to learn more.

Not at all — this is one of our favorite situations. Many of our players are joining for the first time, and our coaches are trained to work with complete beginners alongside returning players. No one will be made to feel behind.

Our coaches are Christians and that shapes how they coach — through patience, encouragement, and character. Practices may include a brief devotional thought or prayer. It's never forced, and families of all backgrounds participate here. We'd rather you know upfront than be surprised.

Most games are played at Hellenic Park in Matthews — our shared league home field. University and Waxhaw teams also host at least two home campus games per season when matched against another team from the same campus. We're growing toward each campus running its own full game day — families who join now are part of building that.

One 60-minute weekday practice and one Saturday game of roughly 45–60 minutes. The 8:30 AM–2:00 PM game window is the full range across all age groups — your child's game will have one assigned time within that window, not the full day.

Yes. Every coach — including volunteers — is required to complete a background check before working with players. No exceptions.

You'll get a confirmation email right away. A few weeks before the season starts, your campus coordinator will reach out with your team placement, coach information, and practice day and time. Uniform details follow after teams are formed.

Shin guards (required), cleats, and a water bottle. Wear athletic clothes — you won't have your uniform yet. Arrive about 15 minutes early. Bring a ball too! We have some to supplement, but not enough for every player.
