A new era has arrived for youth soccer in Franklin County.

We are thrilled to announce that Franklin County Sports Club (FCSC) has officially been accepted as a sanctioned Member Club of the Missouri Youth Soccer Association (MYSA) — the state's governing body for youth soccer under U.S. Youth Soccer.

This historic moment marks a massive milestone for our young club, our athletes, and the entire Franklin County community. With MYSA affiliation, our players now have a clear pathway to elite development programs, including the Missouri Olympic Development Program (ODP).

“We are looking forward to seeing Franklin County Sports Club grow,” said Nik Bushell, Executive Director of MYSA. “MYSA would like to extend an invitation to FCSC players to get involved with the Missouri Olympic Development Program.”

That’s right — ODP opportunities are now within reach for FCSC athletes who demonstrate potential, passion, and performance.

From Our President

“After almost one year of kickstarting the conversation with MYSA, FCSC is now an official youth soccer club affiliated and sanctioned by MYSA,” said Alex Moraes, FCSC President and Executive Director. “Our leadership, coaches, staff, families, and players couldn’t be prouder of this major achievement. We have been successful at expanding competitive soccer opportunities to the youth of our beautiful Franklin County.”
