Recreational Soccer

The main purpose of recreational soccer is to have fun, exercise and enjoy soccer in a less competitive environment. It is designed to develop the game's basic skills while focusing on player’s physical, socio-emotional, communication, and cognitive development. All activities are age appropriate to increase motor development, stimulate thinking, and teach fundamental soccer skills.

Recreational soccer is a program that does not require tryouts and accepts all players who want to have fun, learn the sport, and develop the basic skills and knowledge of soccer. It s the foundation and starting point for all soccer players, and does not emphasize travel, high level competition, game scores, or standings. It does not require any certified rosters or member passes for participation.

Beginning Fall'24, our recreational program will include Rec+ (optional). Rec will hold instructional trainings during the week with no games on weekends (short/small scrimmages during or after practices only), whereas Rec+ will be offered at the start of the season to participate in local rec leagues with games on weekends (mainly Saturdays) in addition to practices during the weekdays.

Recreational soccer players can also choose to participate in other soccer programs (e.g. camps, clinics, etc.) that provide more training and challenges to ensure all players have the opportunity to develop and advance throughout the different levels within the club.

Coaches are ex-professional soccer players or on-the-field skilled soccer players. Coaches might also be volunteers. All coaches are required to be background checked, as well as trained and licensed through the U.S. Soccer Learning Center.

Although kids are grouped according to their age/grade bracket and approximate skill levels; unless specified differently by the coach and discussed with each parent, teams may be coed or gender specific. Special requests can be submitted to play on the same team as their friend, family member, or classmate. Requests are made at the time of online registration.
