ABOUT US

Our History

North FC was founded in 2018 by Club Director Attila Csiszar to raise the standard of youth soccer in Northeast Ohio by building a club focused on long-term player development, consistent training environments, professional coaching, and holistic athletic growth. What began with just a few teams has grown into a region-wide program serving hundreds of athletes.

As North FC grew, so did its footprint. In 2023, the club expanded into Hudson, bringing its model to a new community with Dan Zemanski continuing to lead local operations as Club Director–Hudson. Just one year later, in May 2024, North FC extended its reach again by integrating a well-established Chagrin-area program, with respected coach and Club Director Kia Zolgharnain overseeing that hub. These strategic expansions strengthened North FC’s unified system while preserving the experienced leadership and training environments that define each location.

That same year, North FC elevated its commitment to complete player development through a strategic partnership with T3 Performance. This collaboration introduced elite-level strength, speed, and agility training directly into the club’s core programming. With shared facilities, professional performance coaches, and a unified training model, T3 became a cornerstone of the North FC experience. It remains one of the key factors that distinguishes the club, giving players the opportunity to develop as complete athletes in a fully integrated environment.

As the player pathway continued to mature, North FC and Team Challenger FC North recognized an opportunity to create a stronger competitive environment for older players. Beginning with the 2026-2027 season, the clubs combined their U13-U19 programs under the new banner, T3 Futbol Club. Led by Attila Csiszar and Chris Dore, T3 Futbol Club brings together players, coaches, and resources from both organizations to create a more competitive and comprehensive pathway for athletes pursuing higher levels of play.

Today, North FC focuses exclusively on the academy-U12 years, where technical development, confidence, game intelligence, and foundational habits are formed. Players train within North FC's West, Hudson, and Chagrin hubs under a unified curriculum designed to prepare them for long-term success in the game.

At U13 and beyond, players have the opportunity to continue their journey with T3 Futbol Club, where they compete in regional and national leagues while benefiting from advanced training, performance development, and expanded competitive opportunities. Together, North FC and T3 Futbol Club provide a connected pathway that allows players to develop within a consistent philosophy from their earliest competitive years through their teenage playing experience.

Our Vision

At North FC, our vision is to be a premier destination for dedicated young athletes, male and female, who are driven to compete, grow, and thrive at the highest levels of the game. To be better than the rest, we need to be different.

Our club is built on a commitment to intense, high-level training environments that challenge players mentally, physically, and tactically. We cultivate a culture that values effort over ego, development over trophies, and character as much as skill.

At North FC, every session is an opportunity, every player is a priority, and every team is united by a shared pursuit of excellence with purpose. We are not just building better players. We are shaping stronger people through a different kind of soccer journey.

Our Mission

Our mission at North FC is to provide a competitive, challenging, and inspiring environment where young athletes, both boys and girls, can pursue their full potential.

We are committed to developing complete players through intentional, high-intensity training, tactical education, and a culture of accountability and growth. Our goal is not only to compete at the highest levels of youth soccer but to create a platform where players are seen, supported, and prepared for the next step in their journey, whether that means college, professional aspirations, or personal excellence.

At North FC, we train differently, we think differently, and we grow differently so our players can become the best version of themselves, both on and off the field.
