Our Story: From Scotland to North Carolina – Building a Legacy in Soccer

As a family-owned and operated professional soccer club in Scotland, we dedicated ourselves to developing young players to reach elite levels of the sport, including representing National Teams. Our journey took an exciting turn in 1994, when we attended the World Cup in the USA. Later that year, we were invited to the Final Four college games at Davidson College, sparking the idea to start summer soccer camps in North Carolina in 1995.

Over the next five years, we worked with top-level players and coaches, traveling across the state to host camps. The enthusiasm of young players and the rapid growth of soccer inspired us to create something bigger—a dedicated soccer complex. Guided by global soccer experts, we embraced the concept of small-sided games as the ideal way to develop skills.

In November 2000, STRIKERS 1 opened its doors, featuring seven small fields and one larger field. The concept was simple: more touches = more skill, more enjoyment, and greater success. With high-quality playing surfaces and surrounding board systems, our facility has supported both kids and adults in achieving their goals. Many of our youth players have gone on to play at the collegiate level, while adults continue to enjoy the thrill of small-sided games.

Soccer's growth since 2001 has been incredible, and we’re proud of the role we’ve played in fostering that progress. Our journey continued with the opening of STRIKERS 2 in March 2020, located in the Hickory Grove Business Park in Indian Trail. This state-of-the-art facility features four small fields and one larger field, offering opportunities for both youth and adults to play, learn, and grow in the game we love.

Our passion for soccer and commitment to developing players at every level drives us forward. The journey is far from over—come join us and be a part of it!
