HISTORY

Founded in 2021 through the merger of the Fauquier County Soccer Club and Warrenton Youth Sports Club, NPSC was created to unify and expand recreational sports opportunities in our community. Guided by our mission to promote wellness through sports, we have grown rapidly to serve a diverse and ever-expanding population.


  • Initially offering youth basketball, soccer, and volleyball programs, we quickly identified the need to broaden our offerings to include adult recreational volleyball to meet community demand. In Spring 2023, we merged with the Fauquier Youth Flag Football League, adding flag football to our roster. This was followed by the introduction of a cheer program in Fall 2024. These additions have enabled us to serve individuals of all ages and interests while maintaining our core focus on youth development. Today, NPSC serves thousands of participants annually, encouraging and supporting healthy lifestyles and providing opportunities for physical activity across the lifespan.
  • In 2024, NPSC significantly strengthened its management, hiring an Executive Director and developing multiple strategic leadership initiatives, including organizational efficiency improvements. These efforts have solidified our ability to provide high-quality programming and maintain financial viability. We have an extensive, multi-year history of service delivery, consistently meeting and exceeding customer expectations.

Programs & Services: Addressing Community Needs

  • The northern Piedmont region has experienced significant population growth in recent years, heightening the demand for accessible recreational opportunities. Simultaneously, the need for affordable and inclusive programs has become increasingly urgent, particularly for underserved families who face barriers to participation. NPSC addresses this gap by providing low-cost programs that emphasize physical health, social connection, and personal development.
  • Our programs go beyond sports; they cultivate life skills such as leadership, resilience, and teamwork. For adults, programs like our co-ed volleyball league create opportunities for social engagement and active living, helping to combat isolation and sedentary lifestyles.
