At Northern Piedmont Sports Club, we know how important it is for families to plan their weekends, especially during busy sports seasons. That’s why we’re taking a more proactive approach to rain date scheduling this fall. Instead of scrambling to reschedule after weather disruptions, we’ve set aside dedicated rain dates in advance—making it easier for families to know what to expect.

At Northern Piedmont Sports Club, we believe every player brings something special to their team—whether it’s a big personality, a unique skill set, or simply a love for the game that’s impossible to miss. One player who embodies that spirit is Tinley , an energetic and enthusiastic U10 athlete making her debut in competitive soccer. Tinley is part of NPSC’s U10 United Girls Royal , a newly formed travel team that’s kicking off its very first season together. For Tinley, this marks her first step into the exciting world of competitive play. Moving from recreational soccer to travel soccer can be a big leap—new teammates, more structured practices, and a faster-paced game—but Tinley has embraced the challenge with the same enthusiasm she brings to everything in her life. When you watch Tinley on the field, one thing is immediately clear: she plays with her whole heart. Whether she’s sprinting down the sideline, battling for a loose ball, or encouraging a teammate, her energy is contagious. Coaches and teammates alike will tell you that she works hard every single practice and game, giving her best effort from start to finish. Her dedication to improvement, coupled with her positive attitude, makes her an incredible asset to the U10 Girls Royal squad. Of course, soccer is only part of Tinley’s story. When she’s not on the field, you might find her spending time with Bitty and Bo , her beloved cat and dog. An animal lover through and through, Tinley’s gentle nature and compassion for her furry friends shine just as brightly as her competitive spirit. Tinley also love s family camping trips a nd exploring the great outdoors. Whether it’s hiking through the woods or simply soaking in the beauty of nature, she enjoys being outside. These trips are special opportunities for her to spend time with her family, make lasting memories, and recharge for the busy soccer season ahead. This fall marks the beginning of what we’re sure will be an exciting soccer journey for Tinley. As she grows as a player, teammate, and competitor, there’s no doubt she’ll continue to inspire those around her with her hard work, positive attitude, and boundless energy. Welcome to travel soccer, Tinley—we’re so glad you’re part of the NPSC family! Here’s to a fantastic season with the U10 United Girls Royal.
