The Story of BC United Soccer Club

From Humble Beginnings to a Premier Soccer Destination

BC United Soccer Club was born from a simple idea—creating a competitive yet affordable soccer experience for young athletes. It all started with Derek and Walter at Riverside Rec, where they saw a need for a cost-effective cup team that could provide quality training and real opportunities for player development.

What began as a small initiative has now grown into a thriving club with over 10 teams for boys and girls, U9 to U19. We've expanded to offer:

  • Competitive Teams – From ORL-level development to GLA and pre-ECNL teams, we provide the right challenge for every player.
  • High-Quality Coaching – Our professional coaching staff is committed to developing players, not just filling rosters.
  • Year-Round Development – In addition to club play, we run summer camps and partner with recreational teams to support all levels of play.

WE ARE BC UNITED

BC United is a competitive youth soccer club in Beaver County, Western Pennsylvania catering to both boys and girls teams ranging from U8 to U17. As a club, we pride ourselves on offering a holistic approach where players' development is paramount.

It's a testament to the work that has been done since BCU was founded back in 2017, that we have players from Allegheny County, Beaver County, Butler County, Lawrence County, Venango County, and even East Liverpool, Ohio playing with our club.

Our coaching department has seen a radical transformation as well. BC United has now added several new coaches to work alongside our experienced USSF and UEFA-licensed coaches. This now means players will receive more specialist attention during training sessions as the coach-to-player ratio goes up, which is a huge positive to aid a player's development.

We are absolutely delighted to be able to call SV North, Prospect, Riverside, and Wilmington our official partner rec clubs. BC United currently has professional coaches on the ground in all four rec clubs to work alongside their coaches to help improve the structures currently in place. We will also be welcoming coaches from SV North, Prospect, Riverside, and Wilmington to our coaching workshops as part of a new coach education initiative.

OUR PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Development is a process, it takes time and dedication, and we are committed to giving both of those things to any soccer player at BC United. We work in twelve 12-week periods and strategically plan what needs to be taught to our players at the age and stage they are currently at.
In our player-centered environment, we look at developing not just their soccer skills.
