About Us
Founded in 2010 with one team and a simple philosophy, our club has quickly grown into a fantastic program with 30+ teams. Our mission is to IMPACT the lives of young girls in a positive atmosphere through the sport of soccer, on and off the field. We believe in not only developing great soccer players, but developing friendships and self-confidence. We believe in providing a quality and fun training environment for our players so they would continue to enjoy the sport of soccer throughout their lifetime and making some great memories.
- Below are some key elements of Impact’s philosophy that separate us from other clubs:
- We have licensed coaches/trainers to develop the players technical and tactical skills.
- Our coaches are our trainers and are present at practices and games.
- We believe that once a team is established, those core players stay together to form unity and friendships that will last a lifetime.
- We encourage our players to be well-rounded individuals through the participation of other sports and activities.
- Having FUN is an important part of Impact Players and their families.
- We also believe in giving back to the community by partnering with local churches and other organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Club soccer requires commitment from both players and parents. When your child accepts a spot on their team, they are required to commit to play in the Fall and Spring seasons.
Yes, we encourage our players to be involved in other sports and activities. While it may take away from potential soccer training time, our philosophy is that it will help them learn other skills, develop additional muscle groups and reduce stress from repetitive motion, and will keep their interest in soccer longer. All we ask is that you don’t take advantage of this freedom/flexibility and make sure you treat both sports/activities as equals. Top tier teams may require a more commitment once the team reaches the U11/U12 level.
Player fees typically range between $900 – $1250, which covers the fall season, winter training, and spring season.

The players for our academy teams will all train together. For league games during the Fall season, the players will play academy style, (meaning the coaches will mix up the girls to see which ones work well together.) For the Spring league games, the rosters will be a little more set.
Tryouts for the Fall 2024 / Spring 2025 season will be the week of May 20. Exact times and locations will be posted in mid-April. Impact follows the guidelines of Ohio Youth Soccer Association.
Most of the teams will have 1 1/2 hour training sessions twice a week during the season and once a week in the off season (indoors, of course). Practices are held within the Loveland/Miami Township/Symmes Township area. Most teams will take November and December off, with the exception of some teams choosing to play in indoor leagues.
The soccer season runs from August to late May, with winter activities as optional (but recommended for our top level teams).
Most league games are played on Saturdays or Sundays, with the exception of a few weeknight games during the season. Games are played throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. Our older, more competitive teams, will have a few games in the Columbus and Dayton area. Teams will typically play in 12-18 games a seasons (which includes tournaments).
Teams will typically play in two to three tournaments per season. We encourage our older teams to participate in some out of town tournaments for team bonding and to make memories for the players.
