About us
The Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals, located in Horsham, Pennsylvania, is a non-profit
501(c)(3) organization dedicated to competitive youth soccer for boys and girls. We have
youth programs starting with our developmental academy for ages 5-8 and travel teams
ranging from U8 through U18 competing in the most competitive local and regional
youth leagues. Through involvement in the Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals Soccer
Club (“PUNSC”), players develop their soccer skills, learn the value of teamwork and
establish long-lasting friendships and relationships within our Club and community.
Our Guiding Principles
The goals and objectives of our youth soccer program are simple. We collectively seek
to instill and/or strive to attract:
• Committed and Respectful Players
• Qualified Coaches and Trainers
• Supportive and Respectful Parents
• Energetic and Motivated Volunteers
• Organized Board and Team Managers
• Best Grounds and Club Facilities
• Family Atmosphere
These principles are the foundation of the Club and our Members are the pillars of that
foundation.
