Proceeds from this event will be used for the general fund of Lancaster Inferno (Inferno Soccer Corp), an approved 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.

Your support enables us to continue to provide a comprehensive program to girls and women to build confidence, leadership skills and personal growth through the game of soccer.

Why support Women and Girls in Sport?

A whopping 80% of female Fortune 500 CEOs played sports in their formative years, emphasizing the profound impact of early exposure to sports on women’s development (UN Women, 2024).

Despite this figure, girls drop out of sports by age 14 at twice the rate of boys. Three of the top six reasons have to do with cost, lack of positive role models, and decreased quality of experience due to clubs being more focused on their boys programs (Women’s Sports Foundation, 2024).

We aim to buck the trend by providing girls & young women with:

  • Affordable participation fees & fee adjustments to those in need
  • Positive female role models through our senior teams
  • Access to the top facilities, coaches, equipment, and resources

Lancaster Inferno FC is the only all-girls travel soccer club in Pennsylvania that provides a player pathway from youth to pre-professional. Be part of supporting the powerful impact of sport in the lives of girls and women in our community.
