CSF X CAROLINA CORE IDP PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

Carolina Soccer Factory and CORE IDP Announce Strategic Partnership to Expand Youth Soccer Programming in North Carolina
HIGH POINT, N.C. – October 3, 2025
Carolina Soccer Factory (CSF) and CORE IDP today announced a strategic partnership to expand youth soccer and futsal opportunities across the High Point region. The collaboration aims to bring high-quality, school-based soccer and futsal programs to elementary and middle school students during and after school hours.

Under the agreement, the CSF After School Soccer and Futsal Program powered by Carolina Core will launch in schools throughout the greater High Point and Greensboro areas, with plans to expand into additional communities throughout the Carolina Core in the coming year.
“This collaboration represents a major step forward in our mission to expand access to quality soccer and futsal programming for youth in underserved areas,” said Casey Carr, founder of Carolina Soccer Factory. “Partnering with CORE IDP allows us to scale our impact in the High Point region and beyond, bringing the excitement and community of the game to more schools.”
The partnership is built on a shared commitment to grow the game from the grassroots level and engage the next generation of players and fans.
“This partnership is more than a business agreement — it’s a long-term investment in community, opportunity, and player development,” said a CORE IDP spokesperson. “Together with Carolina Soccer Factory, we’re creating more pathways for kids to get involved in the sport and experience the lifelong benefits it provides.”
With this agreement in place, schools in and around High Point can expect to see the rollout of dynamic, development-focused soccer and futsal programs tailored to meet the needs of young players. Both organizations are committed to making participation accessible and to fostering confidence, teamwork, and creativity through the game.
