About Premier Teams

FC LEHIGH is committed to providing an unparalleled soccer experience for all who have interest in the game of soccer. We promote the spirit of sportsmanship, the electricity of competition and the importance of pure enjoyment. FC Lehigh accepts the responsibilities of teaching life lessons to our athletes to further their development inside the game and out. We are committed to making soccer a pleasant, safe and rewarding experience for everyone involved, regardless of age or ability. We believe that all players are winners because everyone is afforded an equal opportunity to explore their potential and pursue positive outcomes on and off the field. Through quality coaching, sound leadership and absolute sincerity, FC Lehigh will work to be the best club in the state, nation and world.

The Premier Travel or Competitive Branch is for players from U-10 to U-18. Players are expected to make a commitment to play competitive soccer and are placed based upon their passion and ability. The U-10 through U-12 age groups focus on learning & playing small-sided games (6v6 / 7v7 / 8v8 / 9v9) while the U-13 and up ages play 11v11.

Our Competitive Branch exists to allow any player, irrespective of ability, the opportunity to take their game to the height of their potential. Players play with other players of like-ability with various levels of commitment throughout - the higher the level, the greater the commitment. FC Lehigh believes in striving for excellence and as players progress, they are constantly put in new situations to provide a greater challenge if indeed that is what the player desires. For our top players their goals may include playing one age group above, high school, college, amateur, or professional soccer. For our club, we want to push our players to "the next level". This "next level" may be different for every player.

Our teams typically train two or three times per week with one match on the weekend.

For players, U-17 and up, that have consistently proven to be the best in the club, they have the opportunity to play for our club affiliate, FC Sonic of the NPSL. FC Sonic plays in the NPSL’s Northeast Conference against teams like FC Revolution, Erie Admirals, Buffalo City FC, NJ Blaze, the Maryland Red Devils, and the Pocono Snow.
