FC DRIVE was founded as an Illinois not-for-profit organization to teach a higher level of play and to inspire competitive excellence in youth soccer players ages 5 - 18 years.
The club's first season was September, 2007, led by Frank Klopas, current Chicago Fire Head Coach.
FC DRIVE is the largest competitive youth travel soccer club in Chicago and the most culturally and ethnically diverse. For the 2012-13 seasons, there are 365+ players on 34 teams and a development Academy served by 15 coaching professionals distinguished by success at the highest levels of the sport with extensive experience in youth coaching, a professional speed/agility/conditioning trainer, a professional goal keeper trainer, and 25 volunteers.
Each FC DRIVE player receives 36-41 weeks of training and conditioning--all players compete in 18 weekends of outdoor league play, some also compete in 12-14 weekends of winter indoor games, and many players participate in weekend tournaments.
Currently, 125 players play on 10 FC DRIVE teams in the highest competitive divisions in leagues, local, regional, and national tournaments.
FC DRIVE is a 501(c) (3) organization. Donations are fully tax deductible and gratefully accepted.
