Manchester, New Hampshire

We show up for the Little Green.

Hi there — meet Friends of Central Soccer. We’re a brand-new, independent community organization standing behind the boys’ and girls’ soccer programs at Manchester Central High School — Varsity, JV, and Freshman alike.

We’re an independent group with our own board, our own bank account, and a single mission: fill the gaps the school budget can’t cover, raise the profile of Central soccer in the community, and give every player the resources and experiences they deserve.

To enrich and elevate the Central High School soccer experience by providing financial support, community engagement, and development opportunities for student-athletes — ensuring every player has access to what they need to compete, grow, and represent their school with pride.

You’re invited

Come to our next meeting

Wednesday, June 24 · 6:00 PM · Livingston Park Track

Everyone is welcome and encouraged — and we mean everyone. This shouldn’t just be the board in the room. There’s a lot to do and we genuinely need the help, so whether you can give an hour or take on a whole project, come find where you fit. Parents, alumni, coaches, players, neighbors — pull up a spot.

What we stand for

Meet your board

A six-member volunteer Board of Directors is getting this organization off the ground. Here’s who’s leading the charge:

We’re still looking for a Treasurer

This is one of our most important roles — managing the bank account, our Zeffy donation platform, and keeping our finances transparent. If you have a head for numbers and a few hours a month, we’d love to talk. No special qualifications required, just care and reliability.

Also exploring: we may be looking to add support around our girls’ program coaching. If that’s of interest to you or someone you know, reach out.

Email us to get involved

Calling local businesses

We’re building a corporate sponsorship program and looking for local businesses who want to back the Little Green. Sponsors get recognition across our newsletter, social media, and website — and the chance to put their name behind something the whole community cares about. Jersey sponsorships and event partnerships are on the table too.

Interested, or know a business that might be? Email us at [email protected].

We’re on social — follow along
