Employing top coaches and trainers in a player-centric environment that focuses on training, development, and fostering a life long love of the beautiful game at all levels make Cincinnati United the destination soccer club in Ohio South. The Premier Program: The purpose of our Premier Program is to provide an educational and competitive environment that consistently produces the most mentally, physically, technically, and tactically accomplished players in Ohio South, USYSA Region II, and the nation, recognized for their superior quality of play, knowledge and ability to articulate the game, sportsmanship, and passion for the sport. Cincinnati United Premier (CUP) is affiliated with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer (MLS). Teams are known as the CUP Crew Juniors. See more information on this affiliation below. The Competitive Program (CU Southeast is part of the Competitive Program): The purpose of our Competitive Program is to provide higher levels of training and competition in community based locations to those players interested in select soccer. While always striving to be competitive, team sports teach the importance of teamwork. Good programs and coaches teach children, teenagers and young adults the way to compete-with passion, skillful play, teamwork, sportsmanship and respect for themselves and others.
