Women’s Soccer Too: Let’s End the Cycle! #WomensSoccerToo

Women’s soccer has been largely ignored in the United States. Yes, there is women’s soccer at the club level. Yes, there is women’s soccer at the high school level. Unfortunately, there are not so many adult women’s soccer divisions. Leagues throughout the country will typically operate Men’s and Coed divisions while ignoring women’s divisions.

Without a women’s division to play in, players often get discouraged to continue playing soccer as an adult. This causes players to lose connection with soccer. Ultimately, when a women’s soccer division launches in the community, it is common for the league to have trouble recruiting teams. As a result, the league will typically convert its women’s division into Coed. Thus, the never-ending cycle continues.

We need women’s soccer too! Many adult players would love to play women’s soccer throughout the country. Leagues must do everything possible to ensure our female athletes are not forgotten. Coed divisions are not women’s divisions. Let’s end the cycle!

FCRC Adult Soccer Leagues offers a 7v7 Women’s Division on Saturday mornings. Games are played at Crossroads in the City of Corona. Learn more by clicking here.

The California Super League

ANNOUNCEMENT: FC Riverside County will be launching the California Super League. FC Riverside County is spinning off our Men’s Open Division 1 by FCRC Adult Soccer Leagues into the California Super League. This league will feature a $10,000 cash prize.

(www.CASuperLeague.com Coming Soon)

The California Super League (CSL) is building a statewide professional recreational soccer league providing the foundation for recreational soccer players to become professional players. The CSL is the first-ever professional recreational league in the United States. The CSL provides an opportunity for teams throughout California to showcase their players on a state and national level.

The CSL is committed to providing recreational teams an opportunity to win a cash prize. The CSL finalist is awarded a $10,000 CASH PRIZE. Unlike other professional development leagues, the CSL finalist does not have to travel out of state to compete for the grand prize. At least one (1) California team is guaranteed the $10,000 CASH PRIZE. We believe a significant cash prize is essential for teams to grow and develop.

Conferences are available throughout the state of California. The founding Conference is in Riverside County. Our objective is to build a network of competitive recreational teams. We look forward to seeing your team compete in California’s most competitive recreational soccer league.

Team Fees

  • $35 Player Registration Fee (Up to 25 players may be registered per season.)
  • $800 Team Registration Fee
  • $120 Referee Fee per Game (3 Referees will be scheduled per game. The game referee fee will drop to $110 per game if an emergency occurs and only 2 referees are available for the given game.)
  • $10 Permit Fee (For non-registered players. We highly advise registering your players to avoid paying the $10 permit fee.)
  • There is no Annual Membership Fee.

The CSL will set payment deadlines for each season. Teams that do not meet payment deadlines will be excluded from the schedule.

ANNOUNCEMENT: FC Riverside County is Back!

Are you ready to play soccer again?

FC Riverside County understands how anxious our soccer community is to get back on the field. After a yearlong battle against Covid-19, Riverside County is finally beginning to loosen play restrictions. As we begin to open up, FC Riverside County will continue its commitment to transforming the soccer culture in the county. We are excited to announce our grassroots movement to start a Men’s and Women’s professional soccer team in Riverside County. The mission of the movement is to provide a platform where passionate soccer players, coaches, fans, business owners, professionals, and community leaders can come together for the game they love.

FC Riverside County Commissioner Adrian Aros expressed, “I strongly believe a professional Men’s team and Women’s team is essential for soccer to grow as a sport in the county. Local professional teams provide a pathway for young athletes to get noticed on the national level. In addition, local residents (including non-soccer fans) can have a team to watch and follow in the community. This provides our local youth clubs a great opportunity to connect with the greater community.”

Soccer will always be a sport of the people, by the people, for the people. FC Riverside County stands with the idea that there is no person or organization that owns soccer. That’s why FC Riverside County will be taking a grassroots approach and provide decision-making power to our soccer community. FC Riverside County is the first club in the United States to introduce a voting system whereby Team Managers that participate in FCRC Adult Soccer Leagues select our coaches for our professional Men’s and Women’s soccer teams. Learn more about our voting system by visiting www.FCRiversideCounty.com/Voting.

FC Riverside County recognizes our community is compromised of many dedicated soccer organizations. There are many trainers, coaches, leagues, and youth clubs & academies who already do a great job at what they do. Rather than develop competing services, FC Riverside County will partner with existing organizations. FC Riverside County currently offers free and highly discounted website design, custom signage, and printing services for organizations in our Partner Program. We designed this program to help even the smallest club or upcoming soccer professional the chance to shine and grow. Learn more about our Partner Program by visiting www.FCRiversideCounty.com/Partner.

While it’s true that many of our local organizations compete with each other on a day-to-day basis, there are still many areas where they can work together. By grouping together, the soccer community can pool resources for activities such as research & development (R&D), political lobbying, and advocacy. FC Riverside County will serve as the central organization helping create collaboration among our soccer community. Learn more about our community efforts by visiting www.FCRiversideCounty.com/Community.
