ABOUT CT UNITED ACADEMY
At CT United Academy, founded in 2024, we believe talent knows no boundaries and that every young athlete deserves the opportunity to pursue their soccer dreams. As the only academy between Boston and New York operated by a professional club to offer a free professional pathway, our mission is to break down barriers and empower players from all backgrounds to excel on and off the field.

Alongside this pathway, CT United Academy fields U12, U13, U14, and U17 teams within its high-performance development program. These teams operate as paid programs, with need-based financial aid available to ensure broader access.
All players benefit from top-tier coaching and high-level competition designed to mirror the demands of the professional game. This environment ensures every player is consistently challenged, supported, and developed within a true performance pathway.
