FOX Soccer Academy of the Carolinas – Gear Collection Drive
FSA Carolinas is a year-round elite youth soccer academy founded by Premier League champion Christian Fuchs, now assistant coach at Charlotte FC. Aimed at developing players technically, tactically, physically, and mentally, FSA follows a European-style, player-centered approach.
Fox a person-centric academy, but what does that mean? We aim to educate well-rounded players on the field, but this is only possible by focusing on the person off the pitch. We believe it is important for us to create relationships of trust with our players which should go beyond a player and coach relationship only.
Success to us is not necessarily winning games, it is the willingness to improve on a daily basis, to be competitive, and to develop players within our game model. Our goal is for our players to be able to take on any team, home or away, and play our style.

Why? – Teaming Up to Give the Gift of Soccer
FOX Soccer Academy of the Carolinas is proud to partner with The Gift of Soccer Foundation in a meaningful initiative to collect and repurpose gently used soccer uniforms and gear. As a club that believes in responsibility both on and off the field, FOX Soccer Academy is taking action to ensure that no piece of equipment goes to waste—and that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to experience the joy of the game.
Through this gear drive, players and families are encouraged to donate cleats, uniforms, balls, and other equipment that may no longer be in use but still have so much to give. These donations will be sent to underserved communities around the world—bringing smiles, creating opportunities, and building the next generation of soccer lovers.
By participating in this initiative, FOX Soccer Academy is setting a powerful example of what it means to be a conscious, community-driven club—one that values sustainability, global impact, and the transformative power of sport.
Let’s change the world together—one jersey, one ball, one child at a time.
