Now Registering Spring Academy (begins May 4)
FC Columbia was formed in 2017 following the merger of two outstanding local soccer clubs – the Chatham Soccer Club and the Crane United Soccer Club. We strive to be a local, community based alternative to the out of area clubs, offering opportunities for all Columbia County children to join a competitive youth soccer program at a reasonable cost without the need to travel to larger clubs in the Capital Region. Our games fields and practice facilities are located in northern Columbia County.
For more than 20 years, the Chatham Soccer Club and the Crane United Soccer Club have provided thousands of kids with opportunities for competitive travel soccer. FC Columbia is affiliated with the Capital District Youth Soccer League based in Colonie, NY. The league has more than 7000 players ages 6 to 19 forming 57 clubs.
FC Columbia Soccer Club is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organization that strives to provide access for all players in the area and a valuable experience at all levels. FC Columbia provides an opportunity for all players to learn and play the game of soccer, at appropriate levels of competition, in a safe, fun and educational environment, encouraging sportsmanship and the development of skills and understanding of the game.
FC Columbia builds players skill, knowledge of the game and confidence through academy style training with experienced, licensed coaches at an affordable cost. The Club welcomes and encourages multi-sport athletes by working with players and their families engaged in other sports by providing flexible practice schedules and fee structures.
