Established in 1970 and incorporated in 1996, the Queensland Christian Soccer Association (QCSA) is an ecumenical independent body set up to enable those who cannot play on Sundays, to have an alternative to the main stream soccer body who play on Saturdays and Sundays.

Christian soccer does continue to grow with an anticipated total membership of 11,000 in season 2000. It is interesting to note that the growth rate tripled in the three years from 1996 to 1999 from 3,000 to 9,000. This growth is attributable to the following factors:

• A growing number of parents find the emphasis on no drugs/alcohol practices reassuring.
• The same people feel drawn to the 'fun rather than winning at any cost impulse' which emphasises a play hard, play fair, play clean environment, where winning isn't everything.
• Christian soccer is more economical and less demanding on family budgets. This is especially important in economically disadvantaged areas.
• A growing number of ethnic groups see the Church as their first recognisable point of contact. As a result, more ethnic teams are entering the Association and becoming an important component of its membership.
• QCSA is represented by a growing number of female teams with mixed teams common up to age 14.
• Christian soccer makes room for people with a disability, emphasising values of access and sports personship over those of elitism. In fact, QCSA at one time had a hearing impaired team.
• Christian soccer adopts the philosophy of non-interference in the affairs of its affiliates, providing broad guide lines only as a means of overall direction. This is attractive to many who have suffered under an unsympathetic and inflexible governing body.
• Christian soccer is in fact serving a growing 'niche' market and is deserving opportunity to develop. This is for the simple reason that a stronger Association will make the acceptance of religious and ethnic minorities that much easier in the future.
• Christian soccer is an open movement evidenced by the number of non-church clubs taking part in the activities of the Association and having the same voting rights as all other clubs.
• Christian soccer is not a proselytising body, rather, one that sees the main game as about values built people and not economics.
