Our Mission
Wellesley United Soccer Club's mission is to develop character, teamwork, and a lifelong love of soccer in every player while strengthening our community through sport.
We're committed to creating a positive environment where players of all ages and abilities can learn, compete, and grow on and off the field.
Our Story
WUSC has been part of the Wellesley community since 1978, bringing players together to learn, compete, and grow through the game of soccer.
What began as a small town league has evolved into one of Massachusetts' largest community-based youth soccer organizations with more than 1,650 players from Pre-K through Grade 12 each season.
Supported by 300+ volunteer coaches, 160+ referees, and countless parent volunteers, WUSC remains 100% volunteer-run and dedicated to building character and community through soccer.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we’re proud to give back through programs like TOPSoccer for players with disabilities, financial assistance, annual fundraisers, and scholarships for graduating seniors.
In addition to our programs, WUSC hosts the annual Wellesley Memorial Day Tournament, welcoming U9 and U10 teams from across New England for a weekend of great soccer, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
It's all part of our ongoing commitment to using soccer as a force for good in Wellesley and beyond.
