Our mission is to provide the opportunity for players, coaches, and families to glorify God by playing soccer and promoting Christian values in a healthy, competitive environment. In furthering this mission we promote better development for future soccer players and provide a level of competitive growth for them on the pitch.

We are thrilled to announce we will continue our partnership with Saint Charles FC to benefit our Junior Cougar players and coaches. The mission of Saint Charles FC is to enhance the soccer experience of players and coaches. We provide our players the opportunity to develop as athletes and as people by fostering an identity of excellence.
