Children’s Soccer

First Presbyterian Church of Nashville soccer leagueSpring 2023 Soccer Season

  • Registration is now closed.

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.

Picture Day

We are thrilled to have D-Image LLC back this season to offer soccer photos for any of our teams and players. Every team is scheduled to have their pictures taken, but they are not required to purchase these photos. Find the schedule Here. This year’s picture day will take place on May 6. This season our pictures will take place in the field of grass adjacent to the Front Fields. (to the left of Field 12 on this map). All of the logistics and organization for this is handled directly by D-Image, and all additional information pertaining to the process can be found here.

    • Families who have been around for a while will notice some changes this season.
    • All divisions will be using the same, reversible jersey. One side will be navy blue and the other will be gray. 
    • As we know that many teams enjoy having unique designs, we have no issue with teams creatively decorating their jerseys! For numbering and lettering on jerseys, we recommend contacting Cheryl Hanvey at Second Generation Graphics at 615-668-9337 or [email protected] 
    • 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.
