Soccer is a great way to introduce children to sports and team play. Firehawks Soccer Club is a youth program of the Holden/Kingsville Optimist Club.  We emphasize teaching the fundamentals of soccer.  The Firehawks Soccer Club is designed to develop and challenge players, but most of all, allow them to have fun.  The Firehawks Soccer Club is a volunteer-run organization committed to providing our community with a low cost, high quality soccer program. Over 100 kids from Holden and Kingsville participate each spring and each fall.

Game Location: Games and practices are held at the Soccer field, east side of Holden. Traveling teams play in the Kansas City Suburban Soccer League (KCSSL).  The current members consist of the following: Blue Springs Soccer Club, FC Southland, Harrisonville Optimist Soccer Club, Pleasant Hill Soccer Association, Raymore-Peculiar Soccer Club, and Soccer West Soccer Club.  The High School Team is presently playing in the KCMetro League.

Uniforms/Gear: The Firehawks Soccer Club orders team jerseys based on sizes noted on registration form.  Shin guards are required at all ages to participate in games and practices. Soccer cleats are also required for U8 and older. Players need their own soccer ball for practice.

MYSA modifications:

U6 and U8 - size 3 ball

U10 and U12 - size 4 ball

Ages: Firehawks starts at age 4 and up (as of August 1, 2008).  Firehawks is a co-ed soccer program and divides the children by age. The age requirement is only evaluated once a year. Therefore your child must be 4 years old by August 1 to participate in the fall soccer session.

Team Organization: Firehawks Soccer Club strives to balance talent when forming teams. Traveling teams will remain the same from season to season whenever possible.
