FCSC U12 Girls Make History at the November Midwest Cup

November 17, 2025

A historic first for FCSC as our U12 Girls take the field—and our community spirit—on the road.

This past weekend, our FCSC U12 Girls made history — becoming the first team in club history to represent Franklin County and our club colors at an out-of-state tournament . The team traveled to the Tournament Guru November Midwest Cup & College Showcase 2025 , held at the incredible TBK Bank Sports Complex in Bettendorf, Iowa .
For our players, coaches, and families, this was far more than just soccer. It was a milestone moment — the beginning of a new era for our young club and a reminder of what sports can do: bring people together, ignite memories, and build confidence that lasts a lifetime.

A Weekend of Competition, Growth, and Connection

Across the weekend, our U12 girls battled hard, represented FCSC with pride, and continued to grow as athletes and teammates. But just as meaningful was everything that happened off the field. Families bonded. Players laughed, decorated hotel doors, rocked fun tournament hairdos, traded goodie bags, and supported one another every step of the way. Between games, parents gathered to watch videos, share photos, and enjoy meals together — creating a true sense of community that will fuel our teams for years to come.
One of our U12 moms shared this heartfelt reflection:
“This being our family’s first experience going to an out-of-state tournament, we weren’t sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised! It was such a great experience for us all! We had such a fun weekend hanging out, getting to know everyone better and watching the girls play some awesome soccer. Thank you to everyone for taking the time to make it special — the door decorations, fun hair-dos, goodie bags, taking and sharing photos and videos… it was much appreciated. I know our kiddos will remember this for years to come. We’re already looking forward to the next one!”
Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do.

A New Standard for What’s Possible

This tournament marked a historic moment for FCSC — not just because it was our first out-of-state appearance , but because it showed what’s possible when a community rallies behind its young athletes.
Our U12 girls showed courage, sportsmanship, and heart. Their families showed support and unity. And together, they set the standard for future teams in our club.
We are proud of these players, grateful for their families, and excited for the road ahead. This is only the beginning — and we can’t wait to celebrate many more moments like this.
