US Club Soccer is a non-profit organization committed to the support and development of competitive soccer clubs. It is founded on the belief that soccer clubs, which are in the business of elite player development, need an organization of their own to foster growth, address concerns, and sanction and provide programs with a minimum of rules and restrictions.

US Club Soccer was founded in early 2000 as the National Association of Competitive Soccer Clubs (NACSC) by a group of soccer club coaching directors, representing several well known soccer clubs from different geographical areas. The organization held meetings, launched its first website, and by 2001 had grown to over 140 registered members in 35 states. As a result of this effort, in July, 2001 the organization applied for and was granted membership in the United States Soccer Federation. This provided a seat on the USSF Board, and allowed the organization to sanction soccer clubs, teams, competitions, and events in the same manner as any other USSF member. The number of clubs that registered online grew to over 250 by the end of 2001, and the organization changed its name to US Club Soccer. By the beginning of 2007, US Club Soccer had grown to over 2,300 members in 48 states.
