Background Statement
The Fort Collins Soccer Club (FCSC) began serving the Northern Colorado community in 1978 with two youth competitive teams (30 players). In 1979, when the city recreational programs, specifically soccer, were threatened with cancellation due to budget constraints, FCSC began sponsoring the city's youth recreational soccer league. The FCSC consists of two youth divisions: Youth Recreational (2500 players) and Youth Competitive (700 players, Arsenal Colorado) as of Fall 2016. The Youth Recreational division competes regionally with teams from Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Loveland, and Timnath, Colorado, and Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming. The Youth Competitive division competes with teams statewide.
