Our Story
Barrington Area Soccer Association was formed in 1992 in order to promote the sport of soccer in the Barrington area; to promote and encourage the sport, pleasure, exercise and recreation of its members; to promote sociability and friendship; and to manage and conduct entertainment excursions and social meetings of its members. The corporation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our mission is to create a leading community-based club by focusing on individual development, positive environments, and each player's experience. Our goal is to instill life skills and soccer skills/knowledge in a positive and productive environment that values hard work, discipline, enjoyment, development and taking risks. We aim to provide all players with opportunities and experiences that are enjoyable, challenging, and beneficial for long and short-term development. Our goal is to establish a community in which all our members feel a sense of belonging.
In order to fulfill our mission, we have worked hard to assemble the most highly educated and experienced staff for our Recreational, Tots, TopSoccer, & FC Barrington Travel programs. We have been pursuing this goal since day one and have continued to work towards bettering ourselves and our community as we serve over 1300 families in our soccer programs.
FC Barrington (FCB) is the travel arm of the Barrington Area Soccer Association (BASA). FCB provides comprehensive, professional training for players who are committed to improving their level of play while working hard and having fun. We pride ourselves on utilizing coaches who are qualified and always looking to improve their knowledge of the game.
It is the hope that these high standards will spread amongst our players and will enable them to develop a desire for higher achievement not only in soccer but also in education, citizenship, and physical and mental fitness. It is our goal at FCB to develop the best players and teams possible and provide the most driven players in our community with the opportunity to excel to the highest levels of which they are capable.
