The EPIC (Eastern Panhandle Inter-County) soccer club, founded in 1994, is the premier sanctioned travel soccer club in the Eastern Panhandle. EPIC offers competitive soccer opportunities for the area's children at a level not available in the recreational soccer leagues. Experienced coaches, challenging league play and tournaments, motivated teammates, excellent sportsmanship, and above all, fun! This is the EPIC experience. Quality Skill DevelopmentChildren who start playing on EPIC teams at a young age begin learning the footwork, teamwork, strategy, and other skills that help them succeed throughout their soccer-playing careers, including high school and college. Older children joining EPIC teams can develop and hone their skills in a challenging environment that will prepare them for more competitive play in high school and beyond. Challenging PlayEPIC teams represent the state and region in several area leagues, including the Old Dominion Soccer League (ODSL), based in northern Virginia; the National Capitol Soccer League (NCSL--boys), based in the Washington metropolitan area; Washington-Area Girls Soccer (WAGS), and the Frederick County Soccer League (FCYL). They participate in tournaments across the tri-state area, including the West Virginia State Cup, where several teams have won state championships and gone on to represent West Virginia in national tournaments. Excellent SportsmanshipEPIC stresses the development of excellent sportsmanship as much as the development of excellent soccer skills. Players learn a love of the sport and the importance of teamwork as well as respect for their opponents and the rules of the game. Fun and FriendshipsEPIC teammates form close friendships through their love of the game, the pleasure they share in increasing their skills and abilities, and their encouragement and support of each other on and off the field.
