Lumber River FC is proud to announce another major step forward for our club, our players, and the continued growth of soccer in Robeson County.
This Spring, Lumber River FC will have a team participate in the Premier 1 Division of the National 1 League through our membership with the Carolina Premier Soccer League.
This opportunity represents more than one team. It reflects the continued growth of our club, the hard work of our players and coaches, and our unwavering commitment to creating stronger player development opportunities for families throughout our community.
“Being accepted into the Premier 1 Division of the National 1 League is a proud moment for Lumber River FC, but more importantly, it is a sign of where our club is headed. Our players deserve access to competitive environments that challenge them, develop them, and expose them to higher standards. This opportunity reinforces our commitment to building something meaningful here in Robeson County.”
— Brent Martin, Club President
Our goal has always been bigger than simply forming teams. We are building a pathway. We are creating opportunities. We are working to raise standards across the club and prove that players from Robeson County belong in competitive soccer environments.
Our U16 Boys will be the first LRFC team to participate through this pathway this Spring, and more information about the team and its upcoming season will be shared in the future.
We are also continuing to work toward adding more Lumber River FC teams to the National 1 League in the future, so we can keep pushing this progress forward for all of our club players and families as we continue to elevate the game in Robeson County.
