We are the Archers

 

We are a full-year soccer program. That includes a spring and fall EDP league schedule. It also includes tournaments during the spring, summer, and fall. We move indoors for practices during the winter.

 

Archers have prioritized attending college showcases and high-level tournaments across six states. We are looking to expand their footprint further and challenge the region's best teams.

 

Priority for the coaching staff has been and will continue to be development of the kids as both players

and individuals. We have been fortunate enough to be supported in this goal by a fantastic group of parents. The community feel across parents, players, and coaches have led to a truly unique atmosphere

at this club.

 

Parents are viewed as partners in the process. Tournaments are discussed as a group, recommendations

are made by the coaching staff, and then finalized though interactions with the parents. The final schedule is determined for the spring, summer, and full tournaments.

History of our team. The Archers takes our name from Churchville's history. Churchville
is an unincorporated community within Harford County. Because Churchville links Bel
Air and Aberdeen (indirectly, the only other incorporated town in Harford County, Havre
de Grace), Churchville was known as Lower Cross Roads in colonial times. Churchville
was also the home of a prominent family, the Archers. Their home, Medical Hall, still
stands in Churchville today.  In July 2023, the Archers moved from Churchville to
Abingdon Football Club.  We decided to keep the name Archers as a reminder of where
and when our journey started and realize how far we have come.  

The move to AFC places the Archers in a position to grow and be competitive. At the
same time, we understand kids play more than one sport, and you will find baseball and
lacrosse players on our roster. We work with kids and parents regarding their schedules.
