Soccer Programs (Spring & Fall)
FCA Soccer is built to give every athlete—from first-timers to growing competitors—a fun, encouraging, development-focused experience. We offer two seasons each year:
All practices and games take place at Bethel Church in Richland, WA.
All divisions practice once a week, Monday through Thursday, between 4:30–7:00 PM.
Games are played every Saturday between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
Because of the size of the league and the complexity of scheduling, we do not take practice night requests.
4–5 Year-Old Soccer (4v4 · Size 3 Ball)
Our 4–5 division is the perfect introduction to soccer. Athletes play 4v4 with no goalies on a small field with smaller goals, creating a fun and fast-paced environment focused on movement, confidence, and friendships.
Coaches are on the field helping officiate, guiding players through the basics of dribbling, passing, spacing, and teamwork in a low-pressure, high-encouragement setting.
This division gives kids the joy of soccer while helping them fall in love with the game.
6–7 Year-Old Soccer (5v5 with Goalies · Size 3 Ball)
Our 6–7 division is the next step, introducing team shape, positions, and basic game strategy. Athletes play 5v5 with goalies on a smaller field with smaller goals.
Coaches remain on the field helping officiate, creating a supportive learning environment where players can grow in confidence while still receiving hands-on guidance.
This age is all about fundamentals, fun, and teamwork as players begin to understand the flow of real soccer.
8–9 Year-Old Soccer (7v7 with Goalies · Size 4 Ball)
In our 8–9 division, athletes step into a more traditional game format. Teams play 7v7 with goalies on a medium-sized field, giving players more space to run, pass, and learn team shape.
Certified referees officiate the games, helping players transition from instructional soccer to true competitive play—while still prioritizing sportsmanship and growth.
This division helps athletes develop stronger skills, game awareness, and confidence.
10–12 Year-Old Soccer (9v9 with Goalies · Size 4 Ball)
Our 10–12 division provides the biggest field and the most complete game experience. Teams play 9v9 with goalies on our largest field, using more traditional rules and positions.
All games include official referees, giving players a full game-day environment that prepares them for middle school and beyond.
This division emphasizes character, competition, teamwork, and a love for the game.
Important Note on Divisions
All FCA Soccer programs are gender-specific.
Boys play with boys, and girls play with girls in every age division.
Because of the size of the league and the complexity of scheduling, we do not take practice night requests.
