The Roswell Recreation and Parks Department youth recreational soccer program started in the spring of 1976 with 6 teams. In 1978, the recreational program had more than doubled in size and added its first adult soccer team. By 1981, Roswell added its first Select soccer team and the recreational program again doubled to 31 teams. 

The Roswell Soccer Club was formed later in the 1980’s and was developed to assist the City with the soccer programs and fundraising. Today, the Roswell Soccer Club has around 1,200 youth participants in World Cup, Recreational and Select soccer as well as 19 teams in the various adult leagues. Roswell Recreation and Parks Department and the Roswell Soccer Club are partners in the soccer programs in the City of Roswell. Together, they work collaboratively to better the soccer in Roswell for all the participants and their families.
