Community Soccer Initiative Returns to Fairfield
Fairfield Cumberland Presbyterian Church is set to launch its 2026 Upward Soccer program, inviting children from kindergarten through fifth grade to take part in a season that blends skill development with a focus on fun and sportsmanship.
Evaluations will be held on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon and on Monday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the church’s facilities, giving families a chance to meet coaches and be placed on teams.
Parents can register their children either online through the Fairfield CP Upward Basketball, Cheerleading & Soccer Facebook page or in person during the evaluation sessions, ensuring a straightforward sign‑up process.
The first matches are slated for September 12, marking the official start of the 2026 season and kicking off a series of games that will run throughout the fall.
