General Information

The FFC Co-Ed U13 Soccer League is for all youth aged 10-12 in the Stark County area of any skill level. In each of our soccer leagues, we seek to teach our players the game of soccer in an age appropriate, healthy and encouraging environment.  We believe that there is such a thing as ‘healthy competition.’  U13 Division Games will be played with an 11 v 11 format with a goalie and two 30 minute halves.  Our Spring League begins in April and goes through Mid June. There will be a short devotional time where we share biblical principles with the players and encourage them to pursue a life with Christ every week. The season will conclude with a league celebration that includes food, fun,  and league champion awards.

Equipment Needed:   Shin guards worn under socks are required to wear during the season for safety purposes.  Additional equipment:  Non-metal soccer cleats, filled water bottle with your child’s name on it, a size 4 ball is recommended for practices and will be utilized during games.  Please dress according to the weather.
