Walterboro Soccer Club Is A Tormenta FC Affiliate
We are pleased to let you know about a major enhancement to our soccer program for our current and future soccer players. We have entered into an affiliation agreement with Tormenta FC https://www.tormentafc.com/ that will provide expanded skill and competitive development opportunities for players and teams.
Who is Tormenta FC?
Tormenta FC is a professional soccer franchise located in Statesboro, GA that competes in USL League 1 & League 2. These are the 3rd and 4th divisions of professional soccer in the United States. Tormenta FC’s youth academy has operations in Statesboro, Savannah, & Brunswick, GA, as well as Hilton Head & Hardeeville, SC.
* Player Opportunities – The affiliation with TFC will provide those players seeking an elite level opportunity to have inclusion in TFC’s pathway to professional soccer.
Professional Pathway:
-One of the primary purposes of this agreement is to provide a pathway and the greatest opportunity for youth players to achieve their objective of signing a professional contract with the professional 1st team of Tormenta FC.
-Exceptional players may have the opportunity to train and participate in games with the USL Academy or USL Pro teams as youth players.
- Opportunity for elite players to participate in a regional player pool, designed to identify and integrate top young players from youth club markets into Tormenta FC Academy on a part-time training basis. All-Star experience could develop into players that compete in tournaments during the winter or summer.

Sweet Feet Programming:
-As an affiliate of TFC we have access to the TFC’s Sweet Feet program that is a specially designed beginner program for ages 3-8. This program is comprised of an age appropriate curriculum that is simple to understand and creates a very fun soccer experience for our youngest players.
-Our club will be using this program as outreach to local schools and daycare programs to grow the game of soccer in the Walterboro community. We believe that this program will serve as a vehicle to accelerate the growth of our local recreational programming.
-Over the next few years, we are committed to not only grow participation in the local recreation program, but also to improve the quality of instruction. We want our local recreational soccer program to be fast, fun, and rewarding for every player.
Camps:
-Tormenta FC will conduct off season training and development programs at our club as well as their other locations.
-These programs will be managed by TFC staff/Pro players with support from our local Academy/Select staff.
