Boys Soccer
Boys Soccer at Abington Friends School offers a comprehensive, skill-based progression for student-athletes from grades 5 through 12.
At every level, AFS Boys Soccer is about more than just the game. Each fall, the Varsity roster includes 15–18 student-athletes in grades 9–12, with a mix of returning players and newcomers. The season begins with preseason training in late August and runs through early November, often concluding with Friends Schools League and State postseason tournaments. It’s a place where student-athletes learn perseverance, collaboration, and leadership, skills that serve them well on and off the field.

Play with Pride.

Program History at AFS
Established in 1981
The Boys Soccer program has a rich tradition at AFS, dating back to intramural play in the early 20th century before the reintroduction of coeducation in the mid-1970’s enabled AFS to join as a charter member of the Friends Schools League in Varsity Boys Soccer in 1981. AFS recorded a 0-0 tie with Moorestown Friends in the Roos first-ever FSL match that year.
Since then, AFS has made 11 FSL playoff appearances and captured league championships in 1984 and 2002.
Since 2010, AFS players have earned 39 All-FSL honors, and graduates have continued their soccer careers at colleges such as Swarthmore, Ursinus, Drexel, and St. Joseph’s.
