Blackhawks is the oldest soccer club in the state of Minnesota. Our immigrant roots are strong and continue to be an important part of our soccer club. Blackhawks is an urban club, committed to inclusiveness and to the development of players who have the skills and desire to play soccer at the highest level.

The three cornerstones of training are technical, tactical, and character development. Our players learn leadership skills, how to play as a team, and to respect all players, coaches, and refs involved in every game. Most teams have a core group of players, comprising more than half the team, who have played together since they were 9 years old. By the time they are 18 years old, they will have grown up together, likely traveled to Sweden/Denmark and out of town tournaments together, and developed deep friendships. At the same time new players and families join every year and are welcomed and embraced by the teams. In our club culture our teams both celebrate together and support each other through the tough times, on and off the field.
