Franklinton Soccer Club welcomes players from all over the parish

The Franklinton Soccer Club was established this year and is open to anyone 3 and up.

The final in-person registration for the 2020 season has taken place, but you can still sign up.

The deadline to register for the spring season is Sunday, Dec. 1.

You can sign up at visit www.franklintonsoccerclub.com.

Uniform fees can be paid through Saturday, Feb. 1.

The goals are teaching soccer skills and tactics, providing a safe, fun environment to learn and play soccer, and to foster sportsmanship and teamwork among soccer players. They are the only Louisiana state-affiliated soccer organization in Washington Parish.

The club will have two seasons each year with the first running from March 1, 2020 through May 2, 2020.

Franklinton Soccer Club is not a travel team. They will play and practice locally with a few exceptions. The goal is to give each team above the 10-year old age group the opportunity to play teams outside Franklinton two times each season. The other teams are fellow LSA members. They also would like to give each team above the age of 10 the opportunity to play in a tournament at the end of each season. The tournaments would involve other LSA teams and would be in Hammond, Covington or Baton Rouge.
