MIDWAY SOCCER

2024 Season

Registration is now closed

First Baptist Church's Midway Soccer ministry does not use tryouts, invitations, recruiting, or any like process to roster players selectively to any team on the basis of talent or ability. The system utilized for rostering the players must be a fair and balanced distribution of playing talent among all teams participating.  Our scrimmage strategy increases the likelihood of balanced teams. Every child must play at least one-half of each game except for reasons of injury or discipline. Our emphasis is based upon participation, not competition. Midway Soccer is an opportunity for children to develop athletically, relationally, and spiritually.

The mission of Midway Soccer is to share and show Christ to children by playing soccer together and building relationships.
