Philosophy and Approach
CUP Girls is a part of the Cincinnati United Soccer Club family of soccer communities sharing the mission to inspire a love for development, competition and community.
The CUP GOAL is to develop the whole person, with our values of Character, Unity, Person-first, Growth-minded, Ownership, Ambition and Love serving as the guiding principles for all our players, coaches and staff.
On and off the field, under the guidance of professional coaches and staff, we seek to develop young people to their maximum potential with teams training a minimum of 3 times per week and competing at the state, regional or national level based upon their current level of development.
