ABOUT US

Our story started on the pitch

Since 1997, Inter-United Soccer Club has been promoting a family soccer culture in Palm Coast, Florida - and around the world.

OUR MISSION

Building confidence through the beautiful game

Inter-United Soccer Club was founded with a simple belief: every child deserves to experience the joy of soccer in a supportive, family-friendly environment.

Over 27 years later, we've grown into Palm Coast's most vibrant soccer community — offering programs from introductory recreational play all the way to competitive travel teams that compete at state and national levels.

Our approach centers on positivity, holistic development, and technical training that produces both confidence and success — on and off the pitch.

OUR STORY

In 1997, Inter-United Soccer Club was founded in Apopka, Florida. The club started small with only 50 members but in less than ten years, it had grown to over 1,000 members. The goal was simple; create a positive environment for the community to play soccer.

In 2004, Inter-United (iU) began focusing on international growth and service. Since then, we have established lasting relationships in China, Haiti, Peru, Nicaragua, and Kenya. Our international programs include vocational training, access to education in underserved neighborhoods, and access to music, art, and soccer training.

Our focus, whether internationally or in our home city, is centered around cultivating lasting friendships & equipping our friends to serve their communities well.

In 2019, a team of volunteers from iU traveled to Kenya to begin our next chapter - an after-school program in the Soweto Slums. iU Academy opened its doors to 14 kindergarteners and first graders. Our work continues to this day – providing our growing student body a path, purpose, and hope-filled life.

Inter-United Soccer Club Corp. (iU) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
