About
Eureka FC was created in the fall of 2017 in order to allow a group of boys to continue to grow their game and love of soccer. Our first season consisted of kids from the Eureka Swarm teams that had grown up playing the local ESA league. Our first season playing in the St. Louis Youth Soccer Association (SLYSA) league proved to be very valuable! The boys continued to work hard and finished third in division 3. We also played up a year in the ESA league and won that league, playing 11 v 11 and on the big field. The following season, we played SLYSA division 4 and won the division, losing only one very close game. The boys also won the Gateway Rush Halloween Havoc tournament to end the season!
We decided to keep the boys playing in the winter and spring, and they did a great job. They continued to grow their game and learn some valuable lessons, all while balancing other sports such as soccer, wrestling, and flag football. We truly believe that our kids will be the best they can be if they are allowed to play other sports, which is why the spring season is mostly for touches and creativity.
For the Springl 2019 season, we will be looking for a few more players who are interested in growing their game and being part of a special experience. We will practice 1 nights a week starting in late JulyFebruary and will play SLYSA, If you are interested, please fill out the contact form in the contact section!
