Crestline FC: Building Connections Through Soccer

As the founder of Crestline FC, I wanted to take a moment to share where we are in our journey and where we’re headed next.

Crestline FC was born from a vision of creating a soccer club that goes beyond the field, building real connections, and offering genuine opportunities for players of all ages. Leading the entire developmental program has been an incredible journey so far, and I’m grateful for everyone who’s been part of it.

We’re excited to have Hannah Wildenstein on board as part of our coaching staff. Her experience, passion, and fresh perspective are already making an impact, and we know she’ll play a key role in shaping the player experience at Crestline FC. And while our coaching team is still growing, we’re actively working to bring more talented coaches into our community.

What makes Crestline FC truly special is the team of volunteers working behind the scenes. From logo design to branding strategies and creative content, they’ve been putting in countless hours—not for a paycheck but because they believe in the dream of building something real. Their support is a testament to the community-driven spirit that defines our club.

Looking ahead, we’re planning to expand into California by December 2025, with a top-tier USSF A License coach set to lead our efforts on the West Coast. We’re equally excited about what this expansion will bring to our players in North Carolina.

We’re still in the early stages, but every day brings us closer to turning this vision into reality. I’d love for you to be part of our journey—whether you’re a player, a coach, a volunteer, or simply someone who believes in what we’re building.

Stay tuned for more updates as we keep building, keep growing, and keep playing the game we love.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to see where we go together.

With gratitude,

Erdi Engin
