This post is a list of inspiring soccer team quotes that will be helpful for you to use for your young soccer team and its individual players. Use these quotes for your youth soccer team to inspire, education, and motivate them to be the best teammates and players they can possibly be.

We'll start with two of the very shortest (but good) team quotes. Perhaps the shortest quote about team is an acronym using the word team.

TEAM Together Everyone Achieves MoreOne of the classic true quotes of all time.

"TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More" is one of the classic all time team quotes and it certainly applies to youth soccer as much as any other sport for both kids and adults. Although it's true that a dominant player can bring success to a team early on, in the long run teams will achieve higher levels of success and satisfaction when the individual teammates play together with the good of the team in mind.

The next quote that is good for soccer teams, other sports teams, and in the business world, is likely the shortest quote of all team oriented quotes.

“There is no “I” in TEAM.” - Author Unknown

What's great about this quote is that if kids learn it and adopt it when they're young, it carries over to their adult world too. That's really what the ultimate goal is here. We want to use the game of soccer as a tool to teach life lessons and develop strong character traits that shape young people for the rest of their lives.

Try to be the best FOR your team." - Soccer-For-Kids.com


Children who are naturally competitive often strive to be the best player on their soccer team. While it can be healthy to strive to be the best, it's important that we instill the concept of teamwork in the young athlete. Players become the most valuable asset to the team if they try to be the best player in a way that benefits their team the most. More team quotes about soccer from soccercoachingpro.
