About
Tennessee Soccer Club (TSC) is a large Middle Tennessee youth organization anchored for Franklin-area families in the Williamson region, with additional campuses in Murfreesboro, Nashville, Sumner, and the Upper Cumberland. Membership scales past 4,500 players and 450 teams with about 370 coaches on staff, and TSC operates the only Boys and Girls ECNL national platform in Middle Tennessee alongside ECNL Regional League, NPL, competitive, academy, pre-academy, recreation (selected regions), camps, and pre-professional USL League Two and USL W League teams.
What Franklin and Williamson players can join
Williamson programming spans Pre-Academy U6–U7, Academy U8–U11, Competitive U12–U19, NPL U13–U19, ECNL RL U13–U19, and full ECNL U13–U19. Pre-Academy stresses fun, basic skills, and flexibility for multi-sport kids. Academy introduces licensed professional coaching, ball mastery, and a structured club environment. Competitive bands feed Tennessee State League, Tennessee State Cup, and tournament schedules, while NPL and ECNL RL add regional league play and showcase exposure. ECNL demands the highest travel and training commitment and targets elite college-track athletes.
Training sites near Franklin
Williamson training and games rotate across county venues such as Williamson County Soccer Complex on Downs Boulevard, Tower Park, Franklin Recreation Center, Bethesda Sports Park, Trinity Park, Flagpole Park, and Academy Park in Franklin, plus other Brentwood-area parks in the same facility network. Murfreesboro centers on Richard Siegel Soccer Complex; Nashville includes Harpeth Soccer Park for its region; Sumner uses Pope Saint John Paul II Preparatory; Upper Cumberland uses Putnam County Sports Complex. ECNL national-team training for the pathway is based in Williamson.
Player pathway and philosophy
The TSC player pathway moves from recreation (where offered) through pre-academy and academy into competitive tiers, then into NPL or ECNL RL, and finally ECNL or, for older athletes, USL senior teams. The mission is to strengthen the community through a values-driven culture and love of the game at every level. Day-to-day expectations are summed up as playing with joy, learning continuously, respecting opponents and officials, committing to the developmental process, and helping grow soccer locally through regional and national connections.
Registration, tryouts, and seasonal timing
Tryout registration runs through PlayMetrics. For the 2026-27 cycle, Academy tryouts for U6–U12 boys and girls are scheduled May 11–15, and Competitive tryouts for U13–U19 run May 26–29, with detailed nightly schedules released closer to those windows. Year-round program signup also flows through PlayMetrics with location-specific program tokens. Updated season fee totals for 2026-27 are expected in spring alongside tryouts; TSC’s fee overview explains how acceptance fees, club dues, installment plans, and separate team fee pools work.
Fees, team budgets, and aid
Club dues bundle coaching compensation, state and national player registration, field maintenance, administrative support, training field rental (with noted exceptions for some indoor or winter blocks), and referee assignor costs. Totals vary by region, age band, and team level. Williamson totals for the 2025-26 season include $600 all-in club dues for Pre-Academy U6–U7 ($200 acceptance plus $400 club), about $1,395 for Academy U7–U8 ($375 acceptance plus $1,020 club), roughly $1,695 for many U9–U12 Academy bands, and higher totals for ECNL RL and ECNL. High-school-age competitive rows split boys and girls club-fee amounts in the mid three figures to low four figures before the acceptance fee. Every player also carries a $300 team-fee starting balance on July 1 (September 15 for high-school-aged girls) to fund league entries, referees, tournaments, coach travel, winter training rentals, and other team-specific costs; treasurers may collect additional shares as needed, and financial aid applies to club dues only, not team fees. Uniforms cycle on a multi-year rhythm with fanwear available through the club’s WeGotSoccer store link.
Tournaments, camps, and community impact
TSC hosts and promotes major events such as the Cookeville Rotary Soccer Classic and the Tennessee Invitational, with seasonal dates announced each year. Summer camp series sharpen skills in a camp format. TSC Cares fundraising supports broader community initiatives, including partnerships with Special Olympics Tennessee soccer programming.
