About Us

We are a Cincinnati-based non-profit soccer club catering to players at every level from 3 years old through to competitive and elite play. Our goal is to provide a developmental experience for players, their families, and our staff. Soccer is merely the vehicle through which we travel.


Together, we strive for excellence, ignite a passion for soccer, and work together to bring out the best in all of us. Players 7yrs+ who are interested in select soccer are provided higher levels of professional training and competition in community-based locations.

OUR HISTORY

Our club has been a collaboration from the beginning; formed by traditional clubs including Lakota United Soccer Club, Thunder United, Sycamore Soccer Club (Arsenal) and Southeast Cincinnati Soccer Association, we have proven that we can accomplish more together.


Our Cincinnati United Communities have grown to provide developmental and competitive pathways for boys and girls aged 8 to 19, and our CUP Boys and CUP Girls programs have always enabled the best players to compete at the highest level on a regional and national stage. We believe that our 2024 to 2026 uniform cycle embodies our one club approach- learn more here.


Our proven track record for player development has been supported by our Juniors Program for ages 3yrs+, which we see as vital to the foundation of the club. Recently we have continued to add Specialty Programs on a year-round basis to enhance the options for our current members, as well as allowing prospective new players opportunities to get introduced to the club.


You can learn more about the way we structure all of our programs today by visiting our Club Overview page.
