The Battery are proud to be an integral part of the Charleston community, supporting the outstanding efforts of area schools and organizations through events, donations, and player appearances. We dedicate our community efforts to growing access to the game and helping support the overall growth of the community.

Even as the world's sport, the beautiful game is not always accessible to everyone in the community. Through a variety of school visits, youth clinics and community educational opportunities in traditionally underserved areas, we strive to make the game accessible to all that want to play and we work to make Charleston a welcoming, vibrant community for all.
“It’s exciting to have our players and staff back out engaging with the Charleston community, especially after the last two years prevented them from doing so during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
– John Wilson
Director of Community Engagement

Community Partners

The Battery are proud to work with Berkeley Electric Cooperative to increase access to the game for children across Berkeley County through community youth clinics throughout the summer.

Building from a successful partnership during the 2021 season, Gildan’s collaboration has grown for 2022 and beyond as an official Youth Clinic Community Partner. Gildan generously provides soccer socks and t-shirts for participants at youth clinics hosted or supported by the Battery.

Supporting healthy communities comes hand-in-hand with our work of growing access to the game throughout the Charleston community. We’re excited to have the support of Recover 180º, donating their electrolyte beverage to our community youth clinics and providing an alternative to traditional sugary sports drinks for growing youth athletes.

The Battery are proud to work with The Blood Connection and address the critical need for blood donations at area hospitals and across the southeast. Through blood drives at the stadium and supporting the Blood Connection’s drives throughout the Charleston area, we hope to meet this critical need.
