About Us

New Providence Soccer Club

Since 1972 a group of dedicated volunteers have worked to promote the game of soccer for both girls and boys of New Providence. Over the course of the past 45+ years, NPSC has been the home of soccer in New Providence. We sponsor teams in various leagues to insure all players have a quality experience and play against competition suited to their abilities. Whether that be pure recreation or high-level Club Flighting teams. We begin our offerings in Kindergarten and continue through High School.

Our philosophy is to accommodate players of all skill levels and abilities. We offer all players who desire to play at a competitive level an opportunity to learn the necessary skills. We do encourage teams to be competitive but not at the expense of player development
