History

Erie Admirals S.C. was established in 2009 as an extension of Erie Admirals Soccer Club (est. 1995), one of the largest and most successful youth soccer programs in the tri-state region (PA, NY, OH). The program has over 400 youth participants - both boys and girls - from U5-U18. The key objective of Erie Admirals Soccer Club is to develop talent capable of not only playing at the elite level but also to ensure that players develop personal, social, and academic skills to match their talents on the ball. Youth development is at the core of the Erie Admirals Soccer Club as players are taught how to be champions both on and off the field. Erie Admirals S.C. is the men's senior team and the players serve as coaches and mentors to the Soccer Club's youth players.
