In just seven short years as a club, Stars United has won 5 State Cup Championships, placed 6 Finalists, won 2 Bronze medals, and placed 12 Semi-Finalists. In 2011, Stars United had 4 teams participating in the Region I Colonial League and 1 in the Region I Premier League.
Stars United coaching philosophy places the strongest emphasis on player development. Our focus is on the quality of our teams and players rather than quantity. The experienced coaching staff is dedicated to ensuring that Stars United players develop individual skills and understanding of the team game, in an enjoyable format. Players are positively encouraged to participate in the game in a fair and competitive manner.
The Academy program for U9 and U10 players includes: outdoor training sessions twice per week, weekend matches, tournaments, winter training and winter indoor leagues. Stars United Academy teams participate in local friendlies with other clubs and attend local tournaments for additional competition. The Academy program’s focus is not on winning but on developing each player to his or her fullest potential, preparing the players for success in the future. The Academy program emphasizes technical and physical development while encouraging individual creativity and expression. In addition to regular team practices, Stars United provides all players with year-round training opportunities and camps conducted by our staff. The vision of this program is to not only prepare our young players how to play soccer technically, but do so in a safe and constructive environment.
All Stars United teams participate in either the PA West Classic League, Region I or the GLA Leagues. We are based in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania just 20 miles north of Pittsburgh and utilize first-class fields at Dick’s Sporting Goods Sportplex at Graham Park and North Boundary Park. Since our club’s inception, Stars United has partnered with Seneca Valley Soccer Association (SVSA) and contributed club funds to several soccer field development projects in the Cranberry Township area. Stars United recognizes the importance of providing the best possible training and game facilities for our players. Through our partnership with SVSA, we ensure that teams at all levels enjoy some of the best soccer fields and facilities in Western Pennsylvania. Winter training is also included at RMU Island Sports Center and Tri-County Indoor Soccer Arena. Winter indoor leagues are also included in our fee structure, unlike a lot of clubs in the area.
