Here is what our staff is saying about this exciting announcement:

“I am thrilled to have our Girls HFC Program joining the ECNL Regional League. This is by far the best platform in the region & will benefit our members in all aspects. I look forward to the club scheduling & traveling as a program, which will allow us to continue to build our club culture. I am also very excited about the showcase opportunities that the league will provide our players. Asheville and our region has been waiting for this opportunity; we are ready & anxious to get started this coming year!” Kate Hammes, HFC Girls Director of Coaching and Player Development

“The HFC Boys Competitive Program is excited to be joining the ECNL Carolinas Regional League for the 2022-2023 season! Elevating our Competitive Program to this platform will bring new opportunities to players in western North Carolina. The ECNL pathway, structure, showcase events, and so much more are now available to our club. We look forward to our chance to compete this fall!” Matt Barry, HFC Boys Director of Coaching and Player Development

 “The benefits of playing in the ECNL Regional League platform will be far-reaching and felt program-wide. It is the perfect next step for helping our players thrive as they strive to reach their soccer goals and aspirations. This new and exciting piece is an important one for making sure that the needs of all of our players can be met right here in our vibrant western North Carolina soccer community.” Mike Rottjakob, Executive Director ABYSA/HFC
