Mission Statement: FC42 will provide a competitive soccer experience for the committed soccer player. We will strive to create an environment that will provide each player with a valuable learning experience, an opportunity to improve their soccer skills, an entry into higher levels of soccer and a chance to be part of a growing program. We will support these principles by improving individual skills through well-structured practice sessions and playing games at the highest competitive age-appropriate level possible, increasing the tactical element of team play and by using soccer as a vehicle to promote fair play, self confidence and good citizenship
Program History: FC42 was created as a U13-U19 program in 2012 with the merger of several Central Ohio clubs (Elite FC, St. Brendan’s and Thunder FC). With each of the founding clubs sharing the same core values and focus on player development, this merger allowed for the players to have access to top level coaching talent and the opportunity to play on and against some of the best teams in the state and nation.

Tryoutso Duration- Tryouts will occur over a two night period.
