The Charleston Battery are proud to be an integral part of the Lowcountry community, supporting the outstanding efforts of area schools and organizations through events, donations, and player appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We dedicate our community efforts to growing access to the game and helping support the overall growth of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as the world’s port, 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 who want to play and we work to make Charleston a welcoming, vibrant community for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ideal Life Community Hero program spotlights local heroes at every Battery home match. From first responders to volunteers, we honor those who make a positive impact in the Lowcountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we don’t stop at recognition. When a hero is selected, The Ideal Life donates to a fundraiser or charity of their choice during an on-field celebration at a Battery game. It’s our way of supporting their cause and showing gratitude for their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
