Recreational Soccer 7U-19U

Overview:

The primary objective of the Recreational program is to enable players to learn the game of soccer in a fun and stimulating environment. The focus is on developing their skills to help them be the best soccer players they can be, while maintaining a healthy approach to competitive soccer. Our Recreational Program relies on volunteer coaches to coach all of the teams. Most of these volunteers are parents from within the program, so if you are interested in coaching please let us know. We have coaching handbooks, equipment and can help you if you have any questions. Please let us know when you sign up if you are interested in coaching your son/daughters team so we can get you going. Coaching is a great experience for both you and your child so please consider it!
