Why FC Barrington?
Community
Our club has been a part of the Barrington Area for over 33 years. We are a staple in our community and the largest sports organization in District 220. Thousands of athletes have participated in our competitive program, many going on to play High School soccer (or other HS sports), college soccer, and even a few professional players. When you join FC Barrington you become a part of something more than a local soccer club, you are surrounded by directors, coaches, families and other players who care about your player and our community. We strive to create a place where you and your player feel like they belong while fostering an environment that makes them feel included. All players will be challenged to learn, grow, and compete within our training sessions, games, and tournaments.
Quality Staff & Growth-Minded Leaders
FC Barrington is led by a team of growth-minded individuals and we’re always looking for ways to improve both our club and each individual players' experience. Our goal is to meet each player where they are and create a plan that works for them and their needs. When you join FC Barrington, you’re signing up for opportunities to develop individual skills, take risks, learn new things, and to be challenged to improve by quality staff. FC Barrington takes pride in our exceptional Directors and staff coaches that have accumulated years of experience across all levels of the game. Much like our players, our staff is also focused on continuing to develop dynamic, educated, and caring youth soccer coaches. The FC Barrington staff is involved in promoting soccer within our community at every age - from our youngest players just getting started to our high school age players preparing for their next steps. At the end of the day, we’re all in on the development of each of our players and promoting their continued love of the game.
Fun, Positive, & Engaging Environment
We are a club that wants to foster a fun, positive, and engaging environment that allows our players to develop an interest in the game and helps them foster the start of a life long passion for the sport. We do this with coaches that are invested in the children's development as players, as athletes, and, most importantly, as people.
Life Long Memories
Our hope for every player is that they create life long memories through a variety of events both on and off the field. From weekly training sessions & games to the tournament weekends, we know that it’s about more than just the X’s & O’s. When we’re not together on the field, we hope that all of our families will join us for team bonding activities and special events like Premier League Morning, a game with Chicago Fire or Chicago Stars FC, BASA/FCB Night at Barrington High School, Homecoming Parade, and our annual Awards Afternoon!
Competitive Yet Adaptable
At FC Barrington, we pride ourselves on creating a competitive environment that emphasizes growing, learning, taking risks and team work while also developing a winning mentality. For those players who are looking for additional development opportunities, we do our best to provide as many as we can at no additional cost (open practice policy, guest playing, Director sessions, etc). Unique to FC Barrington, we promote and encourage players to participate in multiple sports, especially our youngest athletes. We create environments with flexibility and creativity to ensure our youth athletes can continue to grow a love for the game, compete at the highest levels in soccer while also participating in other community sports, programs, and academic interests. The whole person matters & we do our best to help families find a way to make soccer fit into the big picture.
Providing a Professional Environment
With an office located in Barrington, we have created a space for our staff to gather to create, implement, and sustain a club training philosophy and club methodology. Our fields are state of the art and professionally maintained for all games and training sessions. Our communication, social media, website and all things administrative are done with thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail. We aim to have our performance off the field match the quality that we have on the field and are fully invested in our continued growth as a staff as well.
