About Us

Noah Stanford, Owner

Noah’s vision of a community where young footballers can get the exposure they need to live out their dreams of playing at the collegiate level is what grew into what CEC Soccer House is today. CEC Soccer House is followed by some of the top DI, DII, DIII, NAIA and NJCAA programs in the nation and is helping players of all levels find the perfect school for their needs.

Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada), Noah has been involved with soccer since the age of 4. Playing for the professional academy Ottawa Fury FC (USL Championship) for his whole youth academy, Noah decided to venture out to the United States where he attended Huntington University (NAIA), played 5 years of college soccer while being a varsity starter all 5 years, won 2 Crossroads League conference championships, and wore the armband for the final 2 seasons. He also earned a BS in Marketing & Sports Management and an MBA while he was a graduate assistant for his final year.

Knowing how the recruiting process works, being an ex-collegiate athlete and collegiate coach, Noah has been able to use those experiences to help CEC Soccer House strive so that all young footballers will be able to live out their dreams of playing at the collegiate level.

Jacob Erlandson, Head of Recruiting

Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Jacob has been around the game of soccer since he was a child. Playing for a local hometown club at the age of six thru the age of seventeen before moving on to represent multiple universities in NAIA and NCAA Division 1 during the next 5 years. After college he was drafted by Columbus Crew in MLS and now continues to play for his second professional soccer club Loudoun United FC in USL Championship.

Along with his passion for playing soccer, Jacob found another route to spread his love for the game by helping youth find opportunities to play at universities and amateur clubs around the United States while continuing their education . His journey and experiences have given him many connections that now allow him to be a resource that was not available to him throughout his recruiting process.
