About NWA United FC

NWA United FC exists to provide youth athletes in Northwest Arkansas with the opportunity to grow through advanced development, training, and coaching. We are committed to creating a safe, positive, and challenging environment that empowers players to compete at higher levels on the pitch while cultivating the leadership, character, and values needed to become impactful members of their communities.

Our Motto

Excellence. Integrity. Community. Sportsmanship.

Excellence
We pursue the highest standards in coaching, player development, and club operations. Excellence means helping every player reach their full potential while fostering a culture of growth, discipline, and achievement.

Integrity
We lead with honesty, fairness, and respect. Integrity is the foundation of our club culture— on and off the field. We expect our players, coaches, and families to uphold strong moral principles and represent the club with pride.

Community
We are deeply rooted in the communities we serve, especially in underserved areas of Northwest Arkansas. We believe in giving back, building connections, and using soccer as a tool to unite and uplift those around us.

Sportsmanship
We teach our players to compete with respect—for teammates, opponents, referees, and the game itself. Sportsmanship is about humility in victory, grace in defeat, and always playing with honor

ASA currently registers approximately 15,000+ youth and adult members from across the state each year.

ASA’s Member Associations (or “clubs”) field more than 1,600 teams each year. These clubs organize and operate their own programs, drawing on a large volunteer base of coaches and program administrators. Each association has a set of bylaws to operate by, which are submitted when applying to become a member of ASA. Each local association has a Board of Directors which oversees the operation of the club.

Members of ASA have access to all of our programs, events, and activities, including:

  • In-state leagues for recreational and classic teams

  • Regional and national leagues for elite-level teams

  • Coaching education

  • Referee training

  • Club-sponsored tournaments

  • ASA State Cups

  • Regional and national championship tournaments

  • Olympic Development Program

The Arkansas Soccer Association is part of a much larger soccer community. ASA is a proud member of the United States Youth Soccer Association, United States Adult Soccer Association, United States Soccer Federation, and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).

US Youth Soccer is the largest member organization within the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), and USASA is the largest member organization for adult soccer in the United States. Both US Youth Soccer and USASA are organized into four Regions; ASSA is part of Region III. The four Regions in the United States are pictured below:
