Children’s Soccer

First Presbyterian Church of Nashville soccer leagueFall 2023 Soccer Season

  • Registration CLOSED for the Fall 2023 Season

First Presbyterian Church has a long history of using our beautiful property to encourage playfulness and relational connection to enhance faith development in people of all ages. The act of playing together can teach us many things about ourselves, our neighbors, and our creator. Athletics can be a beautiful vehicle for growth and discipleship. Because of this, we believe children’s soccer is an important part of our mission here at FPC and we are excited about the fall soccer season.

During the soccer season, we will host seven Saturday gamedays. All games will be held on the FPC campus between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday game days. 

  • August 19
  • August 26
  • No gameday on Labor Day weekend

    • As we know that many teams enjoy having unique designs, we have no issue with teams creatively decorating their jerseys!
    • To keep gamedays simple and avoid delays in start times: if a team appears on the left column of the schedule, they will wear grey on that gameday. If a team is on the right side, they will wear navy blue on that gameday.

Coach Information 

We are recruiting coaches for all age groups! Coach registration closes July 31. Here’s what you need to know to register as a coach:

  • Coaches must complete a separate registration to create a team. (Login to your FPC account, if you have one. This will make registration easier.)
  • We will try to accommodate team member/roster requests to make it easier for carpooling, existing school relationships, etc., but we cannot close any teams to children who are not currently connected to a team. Please have a list of your preferred team members ready at registration.
  • Our Recreation Team will review your roster submission, and team rosters will be finalized and released by August 11.
  • Coaches Orientation Meeting will be held Wednesday, August 16, at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom.
