Important Information - Invite to Special Meeting
We are excited to share an exciting opportunity for our club districts that will shape the future of our soccer community. After thoughtful consideration and extensive discussions with the boards of Eliot River and Central Queens soccer clubs, we are inviting you to a special meeting to discuss and vote on uniting our clubs into a single, united club, ‘RC United’.
This discussion was not made lightly. Both the Eliot River Ramblers and Central Queens Clippers have made incredible contributions to our soccer community over the years, fostering talent and sportsmanship among our players. However, we strongly believe that by uniting these two clubs, we can:
- Build a stronger, more competitive club;
- Create a better experience for all players and coaches;
- Provide more opportunities for growth and development.
Our vision is for RC United to not only excel on the field but also become a club that promotes inclusivity, teamwork, and community spirit.
Benefits of RC United
- Improved technical structure to support player development.
- Shared resources that will enhance training and game experiences.
- Increased field space and access for practices and matches.
