September Updates & Fall Kickoff
Hey Kaizen Family,
We hope the start of club and school has been going well for everyone! As we roll into the fall season, we have several exciting updates, new programs, and recaps to share.

Our monthly membership is subscription-based and renews automatically on the 1st of each month.

After-School Programs
We’re excited to kick off after-school soccer at Gaston Christian (Lowell & Kings Mountain campuses) this fall!
8-week program for $125
Lowell: Fridays, 3:00–4:00 PM
Kings Mountain: Wednesdays, 3:15–4:15 PM
These sessions are exclusive to students at those schools.
Unfortunately, we won’t be at New Hope this fall due to a last-minute YMCA program taking the available space. We know there was strong interest and were close to finalizing details, but we’ll do everything we can to bring it back in the spring and beyond.
Want Kaizen Soccer at your child’s school? Help us connect with administrators—we’d love to make it happen!

MLS GO Recap
Our first MLS GO season was a massive success!
26 teams
182 games
190 players
1,008 goals scored
It was an amazing experience for both players and parents. Since it was our first time running the league, we know there’s room for improvement, and we’re excited to build on it. Stay tuned for details on our winter futsal season of MLS GO!

Each month’s recognition will be posted on our socials—keep grinding!
Summer Camps Recap & Thanks to Sponsors
This summer was our biggest yet, with over 250 players attending our camps! A huge thank-you to our sponsors for making it all possible and helping us create a fun, challenging, and memorable experience.
Level the Field Fund
One of our Kaizen parents recently launched the Level the Field Fund, a nonprofit scholarship program to provide underprivileged youth with access to competitive soccer.
Kaizen Camps & Training is proud to serve on the board, as we’ve seen firsthand how soccer can transform lives when barriers are removed.
