ASC Premier

Background

ASC Premier (Arlington Soccer Club), a dynamic program of Arlington Soccer Club, offers an exceptional Massachusetts club soccer experience for high school girls. Combining affordability with high-quality training, ASC Premier stands out in the competitive landscape of youth soccer.

Through its recent partnership with Northeast Rush, the club now competes in the New England Club Soccer League (NECSL), elevating opportunities for player development.

Whether you’re from Arlington or neighboring towns, ASC Premier provides a pathway to elite-level play without the overwhelming costs and time commitments typical of many premier clubs. With expert coaching, flexible schedules, and a focus on individual growth, ASC Premier is shaping the future of girls’ soccer in Massachusetts.

ASC teams play in the Northeast Soccer League (NSL).

The girls practice a couple of times weekly with games on Sunday afternoons. Coaches focus on the needs of individual players, helping each girl to develop her abilities as a player. The club leaders are trained in sports psychology, ACL injury prevention, concussion prevention and management, and other key aspects of player health and fitness.

New!

In 2022, Arlington Soccer Club (ASC) partnered with Northeast Rush (NE Rush) to enable their Premier teams to compete in the New England Club Soccer League (NECSL). This collaboration provides access to competitive divisions within NECSL, a league comprising 48 clubs and over 700 teams. While maintaining the ASC Premier program’s core, the partnership introduces new game jerseys featuring a combined ASC Premier and NE Rush logo.

The Spring season runs from April to mid-June, with Sunday afternoon games and bi-weekly practices. Paige Forster continues as head coach for the fifth consecutive year. Tryouts for the Premier Team occur in June for the upcoming Spring season, open to high school students and incoming 8th graders.

Eligibility requires Arlington residency or school attendance. Team formation is flexible, typically including U19 and U17 teams, but may vary based on tryout numbers and birth years. The club aims to field two competitive teams annually but cannot guarantee this due to fluctuating participation levels.
