Founded in 1974, FDLSA now includes 120 recreational, 14 competitive league, and 12 adult league teams, as well as an academy program In 1974, a very special meeting took place. A small group of soccer enthusiasts decided to start a soccer club. This group of soccer pioneers had no idea what their little meeting would start. In 1974 the membership was capped at 125 players and the ages ranged from 8 to 16. The youth soccer numbers were steady throughout the 80's and early 90's at about 350 players. With the youth growth, the need for more fields became evident. A group of businessman came up with a plan for the current soccer complex located behind Moraine Park Technical College. In 1999 the Soccer Association, with the help of the Fond du Lac School District, provided the community with a lighted premier soccer field.
