Dutch FC partners with Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Dutch FC is partnering with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and Stonebriar Community Church to teach our Lions and Lionesses the Game Plan for Life, using the Bible as our guide.


Join us this spring as we unite two passions, FAITH & SOCCER.


Soccer for Life is the umbrella non-profit organization for Dutch Football Club and was established initially for sports ministry purposes, specifically leveraging the great game of soccer as a way to grow the Christian faith within our community and beyond.


Once per month, we come together for a 60-minute “huddle”. We have fun and learn faith-based life teaching that can be applied to the soccer environment and adopted in all areas of life. We meet 6 times over the next 6 months and we start Saturday 30th at 4:30-5:30pm at Lonestar High School in Frisco.

Rize of the Dutch Lionesses in Women’s World Football

By Wilco Ravestijn • March 1, 2020
The Dutch Pride of Lionesses is on the prowl to dominate Women’s World Football. Over the last decade, the tiny country of the Netherlands has become a formidable contender on the national stage ranking third in FIFA Women’s World rankings behind the USA and Germany, but ahead of France, England, Brazil, and Japan. How does a country with a mere population of just 16 million compete with nations housing populations significantly larger with decades-long history?  The same unique footballing culture, methods, and philosophy that brought rise to this tiny footballing nation in the 70s and 80s and continues to dominate[...] The post Rise of the Dutch Lionesses in Women’s World Football appeared first on Dutch Football Club.

These qualities have not come about through accident, however. They are the result of a guiding philosophy and methodology that are instilled in players starting at the grass roots youth level.
