Serving the Greater Wheeling Area

From First Kicks

Building Skills, Friendships, and a Love for the Game

Soccer for Every Player in the Northern Panhandle

At Wheeling Area Soccer Association, we believe soccer is more than a sport. It is a place where kids grow their skills, build confidence, and have fun with friends. From our youngest U5 players learning their first kicks to our FC Wheeling travel teams competing across the region, every player gets the coaching, encouragement, and opportunities they need to enjoy the game for life.

About WASA

Growing the Game in Wheeling Since 1987

Wheeling Area Soccer Association brings together players, coaches, and families who share a passion for the game. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment where kids of all ages can develop their skills, learn teamwork, and gain confidence both on and off the field. Through recreational leagues, competitive travel teams, and year-round training opportunities, we are proud to serve the Ohio Valley and help soccer thrive in our community.

Programs for Every Player

Four Ways to Play, Learn, and Grow

At WASA, we believe every player deserves the right environment to develop their love for soccer. That is why we offer four distinct programs that meet players where they are in their journey. Our recreational league, known simply as WASA, is the perfect place for kids to start learning the game, make friends, and enjoy playing in a relaxed, supportive setting. For those ready for more competition, FC Wheeling is our travel program that takes players to the next level with higher-level coaching, structured training, and matches against strong teams from across the region.

In addition to seasonal leagues, we offer our Youth Academy, a focused offseason training program that sharpens skills, builds confidence, and keeps players active year-round. Our Outreach program extends soccer into the community with events, personal training, and certification opportunities for coaches and referees. No matter the program, our goal is the same—help every player improve, stay active, and have fun along the way.

Registration Made Simple

Registering for WASA programs is quick and easy through our secure online system, giving every player a chance to join the team and get ready for the season.

All registration will close at midnight on Mon, August 4th, 2025. You are not guaranteed a spot on a team for the fall if you do not register by this August 4th deadline. If you have any special requests, please submit them in writing to us at fcwheeling@gmail.com.

Once you are on the registration page, it will ask you to put in your email and password. If you are registering for the first time, you will need a copy of your child’s birth certificate and a photo. The registration system works best from a computer rather than from a phone; Google Chrome is the most compatible search engine to use. If you are a returning player from the spring, simply use your same login and password from this past spring season.

Each player will need a water bottle, shorts of your choice, shin guards, and soccer cleats strongly recommended (no baseball or softball cleats). Team shirts will be provided to all players. Ball sizes vary by age group: U14 – size 5; U9 to U12 – size 4; U8 and under – size 3.
