ONE SHIRT. ONE CLUB.

HISTORY, PROCESS & OBJECTIVES


The Boston Bolts is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and the oldest and most prestigious soccer club in New England. With a culture rooted in hard work, persistence, and grit, the club's diverse membership includes families from all walks of life across the state, from both domestic and international backgrounds, creating an environment of rich, cultural diversity.

The Bolts prioritize academic, athletic, and social development with a holistic approach that focuses on building the individual as a person, not just an athlete. This foundation is built on standards and expectations guided by a set of non-negotiable standards, allowing players and coaches to work together effectively and efficiently. The club prides itself on supporting players and coaches through strong relationships with programs such as FirstPoint USA, a college placement program, and Boston Bone & Joint Institute, securing our players’ physical wellbeing. We have strived to create and maintain an innovative environment that allows players and staff to share new ideas, promote individual player development and growth, and remain an enriching place to play soccer.

 

PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT

Our holistic approach refers to nurturing the person as a whole, focusing on the physical, mental, social, and emotional aspects. At the Bolts, we believe this means adopting a comprehensive approach in a safe environment that encourages positivity and a promotes a growth mindset.
