Why Force Soccer Club?
Force Soccer Club has attracted players from Southwest Michigan for nearly four decades. We promote and develop players for area high school teams. Committed to teaching the game of soccer and helping each player reach his or her full potential.
What is "select" soccer?
Force Soccer Club is a "select" club, meaning players are chosen (selected) for positions on teams using a means of assessment, such as a tryout. Positions on teams are secured based on performance. This differs from recreational soccer where players may be placed on teams simply by signing up.
We try to field as many teams as possible with the maximum roster.
