Celebrating Soccer at FMCC:

A Cornerstone of Community and Excellence

Many years ago, a seed was planted on the fields of Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FMCC) – a seed that would blossom into a robust soccer program, deeply intertwined with the fabric of our community.

Today, as we celebrate the 50th alumni of our soccer team that attended FMCC, we reflect on a legacy of athletic achievement, character development, and community engagement.

The soccer program has been more than just a sporting endeavor; it has been a catalyst for personal growth and a source of pride for our college. Countless student-athletes have graced these fields, honing their skills while pursuing their academic passions.

Their dedication to both the sport and their studies has been an inspiration to countless others, shaping them into well-rounded individuals prepared to make a positive impact on the world.

More than just a sporting endeavor – Our Soccer Program has been a catalyst for personal growth

As we look ahead to the next years, we recognize the urgent need to invest in our outdoor athletic fields. These fields are the foundation upon which our soccer program, and indeed, our entire athletic department, is built.

By upgrading these facilities, we can create a state-of-the-art environment that will elevate our athletic program to new heights.

Improved fields will not only enhance the experience for our student-athletes but will also have a far-reaching impact on the college as a whole. By attracting top talent, we can elevate the level of competition, increasing the visibility and prestige of FMCC. Moreover, modern facilities will contribute to student satisfaction and retention, fostering a stronger sense of community on campus.

Benefit young athletes and the community we serve.

Beyond the benefits to our students, investing in our fields is a strategic move to strengthen the financial health of the college. By creating a premier athletic venue, we can host collegiate tournaments and draw visitors from across the state. This influx of people will stimulate the local economy, generating revenue that can be reinvested into academic programs and student support services.

Furthermore, by making our fields available for youth tournaments and camps, we can expand our reach into the community and become a hub for athletic development. This initiative will not only benefit young athletes but will also strengthen the bond between FMCC and the community we serve.
