The first Senior Competition was formed and known as the Reformed Churches Soccer League
These competitions were born out of several families wanting a soccer competition for their children that did not conflict with their commitment to attend church.They found that the vast majority of organised junior competitions in and around Melbourne were run on Sunday mornings.
Consequently, they saw a need to provide competitive soccer played on Saturdays and the humble beginnings of theVCFA was born
1978 - The first Junior Competition was formed separately and was known as the Eastern Suburbs Protestant Churches Junior Soccer Association.
The amalgamation of these two original associations came in the year of 1983. It was at this point the we acknowledge the formation of what we now know as the VCFA, but then known as the Eastern Suburbs Churches Soccer Association Inc.
