ABOUT PEGASUS FC

Pegasus FC is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation created for the purpose of encouraging and supporting the expansion of soccer opportunities for boys and girls who exhibit advanced ability and interest in soccer.

Since our inception in 1984, Pegasus FC teams have enjoyed a long history of success - from league play to tournaments to cups at the state and regional levels. As early as 1987, one of our boys' teams won the club's first State Championship and went on to win the Midwest Regional Title. In 1992, Pegasus added its first girls' team, and after just two years, this squad brought home a State Championship, a feat repeated just two years later.

As our founder Klaus Reuge would say, the Pegasus FC is "For the Good of Soccer." The actions and decisions of coaches, board members and administration should be consistent with promoting the good of soccer. The club is based in Deerfield, Illinois and is a proud affiliate of the Deerfield Park District, welcoming players from Deerfield and the surrounding communities.

A Tradition to Build On...

Pegasus FC has been one of the most successful and flourishing competitive travel soccer clubs in the northern suburbs for over 30 years. Since our inception in 1984, Pegasus FC teams have enjoyed a long history of success - from league play to tournaments to cups at the state and regional levels. 

In 1986, Pegasus won its first boys' state cup, beating the Arlington Aces and future U.S. National team member Brian McBride 4-0 in the U14 Finals. That same summer, that same team took 2nd at the Midwest Regionals, losing to St. Louis Busch SC. 

In 1987, we bounced back to defeat the Busch SC team to win our first Midwest Regional Cup Finals. 

In 1989, Pegasus beat Libertyville SC 2-0 in the U17 state finals at the Schwaben Center. In 1991, the U19 boys team beat the Chicago Soccers 3-1 to capture the Club's 3rd State title. That team was eventually ranked #4 in the overall National Rankings. The U17 boys team also captured the State Cup that year.

In 1992, Pegasus added its first girls' team. After just two years, this squad brought home a State Championship, a feat repeated just two years later.

Since that time, Pegasus has won countless state and tournament championships including but not limited to the 1993 Boys U16 State Cup, 1994 Boys U17 State Cup, 1995 Boys U19 State Cup, 1996 U19 Boys State Cup and 1999 Girls U16 State Cup.

Starting in 2013, Pegasus players played as an affiliate of the Chicago Fire MLS team under the Chicago Fire Juniors North name. Those teams went on to capture boys U8, U9 and U11 Illinois Cup championships.

Beginning with the 2016-2017 season, Pegasus is thrilled to be back playing under the Pegasus Football Club (FC) name, re-affiliating with the Deerfield Park District and drawing boys and girls players from Deerfield and throughout the Chicagoland community. 

Pegasus FC is a volunteer-based organization with the support of a paid Administrator, Director of Coaching and professional highly certified and qualified coaches.
