Community - More Than Soccer

NBT Soccer exists to use soccer as a tool for development, opportunity, and connection - not just on the field, but throughout our local community.

Social Emotional Learning in Soccer

Soccer as a Tool for Life Skills

At NBT Soccer, we intentionally integrate social and emotional learning (SEL) into our programs because the skills learned on the field – teamwork, decision making, self-management, communication, and responsibility – are life skills that help young people succeed both in sport and in life.

Our approach creates a safe, supportive environment where players:

  • Build confidence and self awareness

  • Learn how to manage challenges

  • Strengthen relationships with peers and coaches

  • Practice responsible decision making

Soccer brings us all together!

Soccer brings us all together – families, schools, businesses, and neighbors. Our community is the foundation of NBT Soccer, and we are grateful for the support we receive from local partners.

We actively participate in and host events that extend the reach of our mission, including:

  • Free community soccer clinics

  • Town and school events like the Franklinton Christmas Parade

  • Local outreach initiatives and partnerships

  • Adult Open Play sessions

These programs aren’t just about soccer – they’re about creating spaces where people connect, grow, and support one another.
