Blount United Soccer Club (BUSC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide excellence in soccer training and development for the youth of Blount County and the surrounding area. BUSC is founded on the principles of fair play, sportsmanship, and community spirit. We strive to provide a constructive, unified program that enhances individual character and club pride. We will work to integrate the sport of soccer into the area’s tradition of strong community involvement in local sports. By furnishing the best possible facilities, coaches, and officials we will enable our players to grow their skills and passion for the game while preparing them for advanced levels of soccer including high school, college, and adult league play. Most importantly: we want them to have a good time playing a great game.

The Blount United Soccer Club (BUSC) was established in 1998. The club is a member of the Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA), an affiliate of the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA). BUSC is a competitive soccer program which provides young players with advanced soccer training and competition. Players at Blount United are given opportunities to improve their individual and team soccer skills, compete against other skilled players, be eligible for the regional, state, and national Olympic Development Programs (ODP), and prepare for play on middle school, high school and college soccer teams.

The Blount United Soccer Club consists of boys (Hammers) and girls (Lady Hammers) teams in single-age groups ranging from 9 to 18 years of age. BUSC also offers players 4 to 8 years of age opportunities to participate in our Academy program.
