Visit the RCA's Rowayton Football Club website here

The Rowayton Football Club is a non-profit, volunteer run recreational community soccer program sponsored by the RCA for children in Pre-K, elementary school, and middle school. The program attracts more than 350 players each Fall and runs for ten weeks from early September through mid November on our fields in Rowayton.

Come join the tradition of Fall sport, fun and community on the fields of Rowayton this fall. The Rowayton Football Club (RFC) is a 50 year old tradition of non-profit recreational soccer run by parents and volunteers for ages 2 through 13. Our focus is to develop a love for the game of soccer, instill teamwork and kindness while making lasting friendships.
