Vail Valley Soccer Club (VVSC) began in 1989 as a result of the efforts of a group of local parents with a desire to bring soccer to the Vail Valley. Due to the enormous growth of both the population in Eagle County and the popularity of soccer nationwide, VVSC grew from four recreational teams at its inception to twelve teams in 1994. After this successful introduction to and interest from the community; a competitive division, which provided two seasons (rather than the previous one), was created in 1995 for those athletes seeking advancement and a higher level of competition. Now entering its 20th season, the Vail Valley Soccer Club has 13 competitive teams with nearly 250 athletes ranging in age from 9-18 years of old.
