About
Stars Football Club (Kent, OH) is a "rebranded" branch of Westside Stars Soccer Club (Westlake, OH). We are committed to serving players in Kent, surrounding communities, and all of Northeast Ohio. Our goal is to supply our community with a consistent, competitve, and affordable premier club dedicated to advanced player development. The Stars Football Club has a simple club structure and approach. Teams will start in the Central Alliance Soccer Association (CASA) league and will graduate to the Great Lakes Alliance (GLA) league for more advanced compeition.
Pure play, no politics
The Stars are committed to creating an enviornment that is focused purely on playing and learning the game. We believe in supplying the most and diverse opportunities to play, develop and showcase one's abilities. Everyone is afforded the same opportunities. However, players are evaluated and offered advanced opportunities based solely on their ability and contrubutions as a player–nothing else.
Community collaboration
The Stars work with local clubs to designate club and community/travel training days to avoid conflicts, facilitating a greater level of participation. We also hold "joint-sessions" with our community/travel programs to expose players to a higher-level of play, enriching the overall experience of all community/travel members at no additional cost. Additionally, players from Alliance, Kent, Ravenna, and Salem recieve exclusive discounts upon registering with The Stars. (See "Cost" for more details)
Tailored scheduling
Rather than a "one size fits all" approach, The Stars tailors it's schedules from team to team and its composition of players. This approach mitigates families and players from having to choose between attending club, community/travel or another sport's practices or games.
enhanced development
While premier club soccer is a year-round venture, The Stars encourage players of all ages to participate in other sports, promoting well-rounded physical and mental development, creativity, and competitive nature. While we believe kids should begin to narrow their sport preference by ages 13-14, The Stars will never deny the multi-sport athlete.
