About
FC Stars New Hampshire is the New Hampshire regional program of FC Stars, anchored in the Greater Manchester area and serving competitive players from across the state. Girls teams compete in Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) Regional League as the FC Stars New Hampshire ECNL Regional Program, continuing the pathway that previously operated under the Sky Blue name. Boys teams compete in the National Academy League (NAL) across multiple age groups, while additional boys and girls teams also play in EDP Granite and New England Club Soccer League (NECSL) Blue and White divisions. Coaching staff emphasize development and long-term progression, and athletes from the program have gone on to NCAA Division I, II, and III soccer. Rosters blend high-level players with strong academic and community involvement.
Programs and competitive tracks
The girls ECNL Regional League track is built for athletes who want a national-platform training and game rhythm with professionalized expectations. Boys NAL teams mirror that commitment for male players in the older youth bands, with younger boys groups prepared around the same seasonal calendar as U.S. Youth Soccer age shifts. Complementary EDP Granite and NECSL Blue and White teams give families additional competitive slots when the club fields multiple pathways in the same birth years. FC Stars New Hampshire welcomes players across the youth age spectrum and aligns tryouts and roster moves with the seasonal-year model (August 1 through July 31) used across elite youth soccer.
ID clinics, training sites, and seasonal rhythm
Identification clinics and pre-tryout sessions rotate between NH Sportsdome in Hooksett and the turf complex at Derryfield School in Manchester. Evening blocks are organized by birth year so families know which night aligns with their player’s age band; schedules shift each cycle as staff finalize fields and coaching assignments. Winter indoor work at the dome supports technical sharpness before outdoor league play ramps up, and spring-summer cycles feed into the next seasonal registration wave.
Tryouts and next steps
Families evaluating FC Stars New Hampshire for the upcoming seasonal year should use the dedicated New Hampshire tryout registration flow at starsofma.org/tryouts-new-hampshire, which separates boys and girls information while following the same FC Stars tryout standards used organization-wide. After registration, players attend the ID clinic or tryout window scheduled for their age group, and coaches place athletes on ECNL RL, NAL, EDP, or NECSL rosters based on level, roster space, and long-term fit. Questions about specific dates or field changes should go straight to the regional contacts because timelines update each year.
