The FCC Soccer Complex includes dedicated practice and game fields that are some of the best in our region. The FCC match field features a natural grass playing surface enhanced by a recycled rubber pellet base. Provided through a grant from the State of Maryland, this field is designed to provide enhanced support, improved drainage and increased turf density.

Due to an unanticipated shortage of participants, FCC's 2010 Women's Soccer season has been cancelled. This difficult decision was made after careful consideration and only after it became apparent that the lack of sufficient player numbers precluded the fielding of a team. We are fully committed to Women's Soccer as a varsity sport at FCC and will begin work immediately on planning and recruiting student athletes for a return to competition in 2011.

Frederick Community College athletic complex includes a modern weight room, fitness room and dedicated practice and game fields.
