We love celebrating the wonderful coaches that support the experience of our players. Most of our coaches fall into the volunteer category, like Bolaji, and show up for a love of the game and a passion for supporting the growth of youth through soccer. We can't say THANK YOU enough!
Our Lenovo Community Hero from the weekend was NCFC Youth Coach, Bolaji Oyejide! Bolaji has been an NCFC volunteer coach since 2014, coaching his older son one year, and then his younger son for the past six! He's had the privilege of coaching close to 30 boys in that time and was honored with the NCYSA volunteer coach of the year award in 2020. Bolaji makes sure every child has a nickname, much to his son's dismay and works hard to help every player discover their own superpower - both on the field, but especially, off of it. From writing kids' superhero books to mentoring boys on the field, Bolaji loves to pour into these future leaders, because others poured into him. Thank you, Bolaji for all the work you do empowering our youth players! Nominate your local hero to be recognized during one of our home matches using here: https://lnkd.in/g-8UVDWW

We’re celebrating North Carolina FC Youth coaches! NCFC Youth marks the starting point of the journey from youth to pro, and our coaches play a vital role in shaping this path. We invite you to be part of the celebration at WakeMed Soccer Park and show your support for these individuals who are shaping the future of soccer in our community!
The youth-to-pro connection is strong with North Carolina Courage and North Carolina Football Club! More than 600 of our nearly 1,000 Shield Award recipients got the opportunity to attend the NC Courage game this past weekend and be recognized during a special halftime parade around the field. Our counterparts on the pro side really stepped up to help make this a special night.
Another amazing game for the North Carolina Courage! With a historic crowd and an incredible collaboration with North Carolina FC Youth, we recognized the Shield Award recipients for their sportsmanship, teamwork, positive attitude, and love for the game. We want to extend a special thank you to all the youth players and their families who joined us at WakeMed Soccer Park. Your presence helped us achieve one of the largest crowds in Club history and secure the win! We are thrilled to continue providing you with a first-class and family-fun experience. Lastly, a huge shout-out to the entire Front Office. Your hard work, sacrifices, and commitment have paid off; the momentum is real. Congratulations on seeing the impact and results of your efforts. Let’s keep the ball rolling! #NorthCarolinaCourage #NCFCYouth #ShieldAward #Soccer #FamilyFun
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, we recently announced the Starting XI of an All-Star Commemorative Team! Today, we would like to recognize one of those Starting XI: Capitol Broadcasting Company! With the leadership of Jim Goodmon, CBC was integral in the purchase and development of 118-acres in Raleigh, which would later be named WRAL Soccer Park. The facility opened in 1981 with 14 fields, expanded to 21 fields in 1987, and continues to be a hub of operation and designation sports complex for practices, league play, tournaments, and non-soccer events. A few years after the facility opened, Mr. Goodmon and CBC generously forgave the remaining mortgage debt CASL owed on the original land purchase, allowing CASL to expand in more ways than one. In 2015, CBC once again stepped up to help finance a $3.8 million renovation at WRAL Soccer Park through a loan and grant. The generosity and support of Jim Goodmon and CBC over the years allowed CASL to continue developing, maintaining, and updating WRAL Soccer Park, giving CASL the capacity to serve more youth in our community and allowing NCFC Youth to continue to do so today.

We had a really successful start to the ENVEST in the World program as part of the Sports Diplomacy U.S. Department of State project. Wonderful to connect again with Brendon Knott and always incredible to work with Michael Edwards, our Shelton Center Team and North Carolina FC Youth colleagues. Our gifted NC State College of Natural Resources communication writer, Andrew Moore, captured what went on during the two weeks. Looking forward to the return trip to Cape Town. But the real stars were our incredible graduate students, Chloe Philips and Katie King, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make everything go so smoothly. https://lnkd.in/eUghN_Bm
What a privilege it has been to be part of the U.S. Department of State Sport Diplomacy ENVEST project. Many of our coaches have spent the past few days welcoming, engaging with, and learning with South African coaches as part of the project. This is a collaboration between NC State College of Natural Resources, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Shelton Leadership Center, and the Football Foundation of South of South Africa. Our coaches will have the opportunity to travel to South Africa this summer as part of the project - stay tuned for more!
The last few days of the ENVEST program in Raleigh with the South African coaches included coaching sessions at Washington Elementary School, collaborating with their NCFC youth sport coach counterparts at WRAL soccer park, and wrapping up with a visit to the Governor's Executive Mansion before heading up to Washington, DC. #soccercoach #sportfordevelopment #sportforgood
