# The Sitka Soccer Scene
Sitka is one of Alaska's most historic and beautiful cities — the former capital of Russian America, perched on Baranof Island with Mount Edgecumbe volcano rising from the Pacific Ocean. Despite its remote island location, Sitka has a passionate soccer community that plays through the rain and fog, with a diverse mix of indigenous Tlingit, Filipino, and mainland American players creating a uniquely Alaskan soccer culture.
The Sitka Soccer Association and Sitka High School Wolves soccer programs anchor the local scene. The city's Tlingit and Filipino communities have added vibrant pickup culture to parks like Totem Square and Japonski Island. The Sitka Community Center keeps the game alive during the rainiest months of this Southeast Alaska island city.
