About Vitesse Soccer Club

 At Vitesse, we pride ourselves on being a mission-driven youth soccer club. With an educated approach, we want to be fun, impactful and meaningful. We help competitive soccer players to reach the next level through developing the team.

The coaching style is tailored first to players being grounded in their character “truth, respect, and gratitude,” before they can become increasingly aware of the details of performance.

We pride ourselves on being a family-oriented soccer club. That means we strive to have a place for everyone along their soccer journey. We built a progressive program, tailored to meet our players & their families where they are in life & development. There is a loop to run, a clubhouse, picnic tables, and a playground at walking distance for siblings who are not playing soccer. 

Vitesse has been voted the best place to play soccer in Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol, Tennessee.

Our hearts and soul are about feeling respected and feeling supported. We want to be continuous in dialogue to perfect these standards. This includes maintaining integrity and uplifting each other and training with commitment.

During the Fall & Spring season, we offer team play. During the Winter & Summer we offer camps that are fun, yet driven.

The method of training is player-centric, as applicable to team performance.  Our role as coaches is to make each player feel valued for their strengths while also systematically challenging them in their development. We will go at a tempo that honors the experience of each player.

The Vitesse Soccer Club program is unique. We emphasize weekly small-sided competitive games for training. Giving the players autonomy & freedom to further develop their leadership skills, encouraging them to be creative, decisive, and play with maximum expression. Among soccer players, it is reported that small-sided games are their FAVORITE activity (as long it is competitive, supportive, and respectful). 

We are registered through ​US Club Soccer allowing players to dual-roster when they are members with TYSA (Tennessee Youth Soccer Association) at another club. We believe players develop the best when exposed to different perspectives.
