About us

We’re More Than a Club

Clover Elite F.C. is a nonprofit soccer club proudly serving the Clover, Lake Wylie, York, Belmont and surrounding communities. We provide boys and girls ages 6–18 the opportunity to grow, learn, and compete in a fun, challenging, and development-focused environment.

Our home base is Field Day Park at Lake Wylie, a premier facility featuring three full-size turf soccer fields. This state-of-the-art complex gives our players a safe, professional-grade space to train and play year-round—rain or shine. It’s more than just a field; it’s where our athletes build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories.

Our club is rooted in family values—which is why we’re proud to offer year-round soccer at some of the most affordable rates in the region. But make no mistake: affordable doesn’t mean average.
At Clover Elite F.C., development meets opportunity—on and off the field. That’s why we offer:

  • Individual Player Evaluations
  • Speed & Agility Sessions
  • A structured, curriculum-based team training program
  • Small Group Keeper Sessions
  • Juniors, Youth Academy, Competitive, and NPL Teams
Personal training sessions
Coaching Staff Trained Kids

Leading With Values

At Clover Elite F.C., our mission is to redefine what “club soccer” means. We believe in building more than athletes
we build character, leadership, and community.

Our focus is on creating a meaningful experience for players, families, and the communities we serve. At Clover Elite F.C., players build lifelong friendships, learn to respect the game, and uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship—on and off the field.

We’re also committed to being involved in our community. Many of our Select players referee local rec leagues and tournaments, gaining a deeper understanding of the game. They also support youth clinics and provide one-on-one training for our Academy players.

Clover Elite F.C., we don’t just teach the game—we teach players to lead, serve, and grow.
