We are a club that is on the rise in Brunswick County, NC.
Over the past year, we have been energized by the passion of our board, our players, the dedication of our families, and the tireless effort of all involved to create a positive experience for our players.
Our club’s reputation is growing locally and regionally, and our program is growing in numbers as well.
Thanks to the hard work and guidance from our club’s coaches, our players are receiving greater attention from both pro-development and collegiate programs. We expect that to continue in the future and we are committed to helping players reach their full potential.
Our Clubs goal wasto write a focused mission statement and identify character traits that are essential to success in soccer and in life. Our committee members understood that the foundation of our club needed to be identified, clarified and assembled.
During a series of meetings, we developed the focus point for our mission statement:
Developing players, communities and character through soccer.
Next, we looked at who we are and what we are trying to accomplish. We talked about developing people and developing players, but we needed to look at what developing people really meant. To figure this out, we asked, “What character traits do high level soccer players need?”
Through this process, we developed twelve-character traits that form the pillars of our club.
Brunswick Football Club will strive to instill these twelve pillars of character in every player within our club.
More importantly, these twelve traits will serve every player well not only on the soccer field, but in school and later in their adult lives.

Competitiveness: A strong desire to win while exerting the best effort in order to succeed; striving to always improve
