CHARLES RENKEN SOCCER ACADEMY IN ZAMBIA
314 Soccer Club is proud to support the Charles Renken Soccer Academy in Zambia, which provides opportunities for young players to develop their soccer skills while emphasizing education and character development.
Founded by our Head Trainer Charles Renken, the academy uses soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of young people in Zambia.
Through our partnership, we provide coaching resources, equipment donations, and exchange opportunities for players and coaches.

Our players and coaches regularly participate in Liga Latino events, fostering connections between our club and the broader soccer community in St. Louis.
