Who We Are

More than what's on the field

Striker FC players grow spiritually and athletically: pushed to compete, and reminded why they play.

Motto

Faith, Family, Fun. In that order.

Vision

Serving others through Actions of Faith.

Mission

Promote healthy life activities that are affordable, family friendly, and schedule conscious, encouraging individual growth in faith, leadership, and athleticism.

Not Rec. Not Travel. Select.

The middle that
most families are missing

Rec leagues play everyone. Travel clubs take your calendar and your wallet. Striker FC is the select program in between, built for players competing at the top of their rec league who want more.

Rec Leagues

Everyone Plays

  • Great intro to the game
  • Top players outgrow it fast

We compete under the umbrella of FW United FC in the Northeast Indiana Soccer Select League (NESSL), alongside Rangers FC, FW United FC, Fort Wayne Sports Club, The City FC, Huntington, Cougar FC, FC Midwest, Muddy River FC, and Jay County FC.

Questions Parents Ask

FAQ

Is my kid good enough for Striker FC?

Our honest bar: if your child is competing among the top players in their rec league and wants more, Striker is the right next step. If they're still finding their feet, rec is the better place to grow first, and we will tell you that at evaluations.

How is this different from a travel club?

We are a select program: real competition in the NESSL, but with minimal travel, flexible scheduling, and $125 per session instead of thousands per year. We actively encourage multi-sport athletes; if a family wants more games and more tourneys than we offer, we'll point you to area clubs that offer exactly that.

How are teams picked?

At June evaluations and summer open-play Mondays, by ability and best development. Most age groups field 2–3 teams (Green, White, Black), and teams are not balanced.

Does everyone get playing time?

Every roster player plays in each half of every game, but there is no equal playing time. Starting lineups and minutes are earned at practice. Show up in practice, show up in the game.

Is Striker FC faith-based?

Yes. Faith comes first in everything we do. Our vision is serving others through actions of faith, and players are encouraged to grow spiritually as well as athletically. All families are welcome.
