Summit Soccer


For the past 16 years, we have partnered with Upward Sports to bring a gospel-focused soccer league to our community. The goal of our soccer league has always been to promote healthy competition in sports and celebrate our faith in Jesus—in short, to 'lead people to follow Christ through soccer.' In 2024, we are excited to continue that mission under a new name, Summit Soccer! 


Registration is currently closed. All registered players will hear from their child's coach by the end of July.

    Join us on Summit Fields on Saturday, August 10, from 10AM to 12PM. Your player will have the opportunity to learn soccer skills from Bethel University's men's and women's soccer teams while connecting with other Summit Soccer families. This event is free and space is limited. Register here.


League information

Summit Soccer seeks to provide an excellent soccer experience for every player by encouraging healthy competition, positive team environment, strategy, and field structure. Our goal is to leave a positive impact on each player both

on and off the fields.


Summit Church has been serving our community with a fall soccer league since 2008. For 16 years, we partnered with Upward Sports, and starting in 2024, we are excited that Summit Soccer will continue to offer a gospel-centered league that is now completely managed by our Church and our many volunteers.


The league runs from August - October for kids who are 5 (by the end of the year) through 6th grade. Teams practice once per week, and all games are played on Saturdays. Every game and every practice is hosted at Summit Fields, on the campus of Summit Church. 


Registration for the 2024 season opened June 1 and closed July 1.
