We feel with the addition of Southern Lehigh Soccer, our combined programs are destined to grow our brand and improve the competitiveness of both our girls and boys teams in national and regional league play. HEX FC is an all in ECNL club providing the following league play: ECNL Girls, ECNL-RL Girls, ECNL Boys, ECNL-RL Boys, and USYS National League PRO
"We believe SLS and HEX FC are a perfect fit geographically, while we share the same vision and values. SLS aligns with our other affiliate clubs, and we know we will be able to provide the proper pathway for their players, while supporting the club's growth from the base. SLS's community-based structure is in line to what HEX FC embodies at the U6-U12 intramural, rec, and travel levels. We look forward to a long lasting affiliation with Southern Lehigh and their leadership."

FC Bucks & PA Dominion Announce Exciting New Strategic Partnership
In the summer of 2021, PA Dominion (PAD) and FC Bucks (FCB) established a strategic partnership to work together on the ECNL Boys Program. This partnership has allowed both clubs to provide a stronger developmental pathway for players within their respective clubs and the surrounding areas. PAD’s players gained a pathway to the ECNL Boys and all the positive benefits that come with this established league. FCB’s ECNL Boys program dramatically improved and grew with an increased pool of players and coaches.
We are excited to announce that, beginning with the 2023-24 season, we will be making this strategic partnership permanent, with the intentions to positively benefit all PA Dominion and FC Bucks boys and girls players.
PA Dominion and FC Bucks will be expanding and rebranding their partnership under the club name HEX FC. HEX FC is a newly formed club sponsored by Capelli Sport prepared to launch in the fall of 2023, which will offer both ECNL & USYS U13-U19 boys and girls’ teams.
The pooling of PA Dominion and FC Bucks’ resources will be the building blocks for a strong, unified club. HEX FC will allow us to provide the most competitive soccer environment for player development in the region. Ultimately, this pooling of resources will allow us to help more players achieve their goal of playing at the highest level and ultimately, collegiate soccer if desired.
