Alliance Cincinnati Soccer Club
Cincinnati, Ohio
About
Alliance Cincinnati Soccer Club is a youth soccer organization rooted in the Amelia, Anderson, Batavia, Bethel, Milford, and New Richmond communities around greater Cincinnati, Ohio. The club fields more than sixty boys and girls teams and runs programming for players who want to start young, grow through structured training, or chase high-level competition—including state and national tournament paths for age-appropriate rosters.
What the club offers
Introductory work centers on Future Stars for ages four through seven, with weekly sessions focused on ball skills and small-sided play in a fun, developmental setting. The Jr. Academy serves ages seven through twelve with licensed coaches, a set curriculum, and formats from 5v5 up through 9v9. The Select program (ages eight through fourteen) helps whole teams step up from recreational soccer into club competition with league access and year-round skills options, while keeping fees lower than full academy teams. Academy bands (ages thirteen through fourteen) bridge into 11v11 with more travel and higher-level league placement. The Seniors program covers ages fifteen through nineteen, including high school players and first-year college-age athletes, with training aimed at elite league play, travel, and college exposure. Goalkeeper-specific training is offered for ages eight through nineteen and is bundled into club training for keepers in Jr. Academy, Academy, and Seniors. Supplemental offerings include indoor winter training, functional (position-specific) work, early-spring turf sessions, camps, and the club-hosted Dog Days of Summer outdoor tournament that anchors late-summer preseason play.
Competitive structure and leagues
Alliance designs its own training blocks and staffs every team with professional coaches. Within age groups, rosters are tiered so top Gold and Blue teams serve the most advanced players and often compete in leagues such as MRL, TPL, and Ohio South State League when age-appropriate, with higher-level tournaments and State Cup or President’s Cup participation. Black, White, and Silver levels still emphasize development and strong competition through pathways like Buckeye, Cardinal Premier, and the Greater Cincinnati Soccer League, paired with tournaments matched to the team’s level.
Training sites and local footprint
Many competitive programs train at Clepper Park (4722 Summerside Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45244). Introductory Future Stars has used Riverside Park in Anderson for spring cycles. Winter performance and skills blocks for under-twelve through high school have run at Elite Athletics Complex in Batavia (including court-based indoor space). Exact field assignments can shift by season, so families should confirm the current schedule with the club when registering.
Tryouts, open houses, and joining
Prospective players are invited to free open-house training windows that help form teams for the upcoming soccer year; for 2026-27, Alliance scheduled open houses May 4–8 and May 12–14, 2026, with families encouraged to attend at least two sessions when possible (or call ahead if only one night works). Players should arrive ready to train with cleats, shin guards, socks, a ball, and water. A separate player interest form collects leads but does not replace registration for tryouts. Families comparing options can also request a trial or ask staff about registration for the season they are targeting.
Fees, uniforms, and payment expectations
For the 2025-26 full club year (fall and spring combined), annual fees vary by age band—for example, U7–U8 at $875, U9–U10 at $975, U11 at $1,350, U12 at $1,500, U13–U14 at $1,525, many U15–U18 bands at $1,675, and a reduced $475 tier for a designated U15 eighth-grade cohort—plus possible league add-ons (such as supplemental per-player amounts when teams play in certain Ohio South or GLC combinations). Fees are described as all-inclusive for training, matches, professional coaching staff, and winter futsal within that year; uniforms and travel sit outside the core fee. The adidas uniform bundle for that cycle runs about $158 (about $189 if optional blue shorts are added). A volunteer program can return up to $180 in fee credit for up to six service hours per seasonal year. Families may pay in full or on an installment plan through the club’s Demosphere billing, with a deposit due at acceptance; fees are non-refundable once committed. Mail-in check payments go to the club office address on file.

Alliance aims to develop soccer players at every level without forcing families to choose one sport over another—players can progress from introductory play toward competitive teams at a pace that fits them.
