History of Fishers Soccer Club

Fishers Soccer Club (FSC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1979 and incorporated under the name Fisher Youth Soccer League (FYSL).   The founding purpose of the organization was to teach the fundamentals of soccer, to promote physical fitness and sportsmanship, and to provide a vehicle for organized athletic competition.

The Fishers Soccer Club has a long and rich history in the community since 1979.  The history can best be summarized into three phases of growth.

Phase I (1979-1986)

Known as the Fishers Youth Soccer League (FYSL), the club was a small neighborhood soccer program comprised of approximately 200 participants.  The soccer fields were located on 116th street where Sunblest addition is now located.  The soccer program was primarily overshadowed by football and baseball in the community, but had a solid reputation in the Northeast Indianapolis area.

Phase II (1986-1996)

Known as the maturity phase, during these years FYSL added a competitive travel program that included girl’s teams, a spring program for the recreational program, and a Halloween weekend tournament for the travel program.  Overall number of participants increased and there was an increase of available soccer field space.

Phase III (1996- 2004)

FYSL began doing business as (dba) Fishers Soccer Club.  During these years, there was explosive growth in the program, now consisting of a comprehensive recreational and travel program for both boys and girls.  FSC established a presence within Indiana Youth Soccer (IYS) and become the largest soccer program in the state.

PHASE IV (2005 - FUTURE)

Today FSC has over 2300 participants and is viewed as one of the top programs in the state. The recreational program supports a full year program, fall program, and spring program for ages 5 through junior high.  For high shcool age players, FSC offers a fall coed program.  The travel program currently offers opportunities for U9 through U19 age players at all levels of competition, including our highly competitive select program.
