Open Futsal Soccer Play Event
On July 23, Fort Wayne FC hosted a free community youth event with open futsal soccer play at Packard Park. Players from the team, as well as DaMarcus Beasley, took part in pick-up games, teaching youth how to play soccer on a futsal court. Each participant received a sack lunch, snacks, and a Fort Wayne FC/Puma sling bag.
Fort Wayne FC partnered with the Fort Wayne Parks Department, who set up additional fun games with their Park & Play program. Campers from several Parks Department daytime locations, as well as Bridge of Grace and Wellspring, plus area residents, participated in this inaugural event.
The 2025 date will be announced later.
Fort Wayne FC strives for success both on and off the field. As a semi-professional sports franchise established in Fort Wayne, the Fort Wayne FC is committed to making a difference within our local community. It is our goal to not only build an excellent team with positive role models for young people, but also to create and maintain a community program that encourages mutual respect and inclusivity while educating today’s youth and assisting those in need.
Our mission is to reach Fort Wayne’s inner-city youth who are often under-served due to lack of access to the resources or support they need. It is our intent to make a positive impact on the youth while inspiring them. Based on four key cornerstones – Health & Fitness, Mentoring, Inclusion and Equality – the Fort Wayne FC Cares Program is dedicated to using leadership and influence to make a difference in the lives of youth at the Boys & Girls Club of Fort Wayne.
