About
Vikings Futbol Club (Vikings FC) is a youth soccer club founded in 2000, focused on player development in the Northern Valley area of Bergen County, NJ, primarily serving players from Haworth, Closter, and Demarest. The club operates as a not-for-profit organization and competes in both the Northern Counties Soccer Association (NCSA) and the Elite Development Program (EDP). Vikings FC emphasizes inclusion by offering multiple teams at nearly all age levels, including reserve/training positions for players not immediately placed on full rosters. The club fields teams from PreK through U19 for both boys and girls, with all teams coached by paid professional staff rather than parent volunteers. The club distinguishes itself by maintaining appropriate roster sizes to maximize player playing time and prioritizing player development and fun over wins and losses.
