Our Recreational soccer program is for players looking to learn from the game and strengthen their soccer skills. It can be for both younger players as well as older players who may be new to the game or want more play time to refine their skills before entering a more competitive environment.
Fall 2024
Season Dates
Saturday Mornings
September 7th through October 19th
Rec season is here! Teams will play 30 minutes of practice drills and then have a 30 minute scrimmage. Typically, teams will play at either 9am or 10:30am, which will be based on enrollment. This is not determined until AFTER registration closes. There WILL NOT be games September 28th due to Oktoberfest.
ADDITIONAL PRACTICES:
We will be offering OPTIONAL technical sessions for our U8-U12 players that are looking for more practice time. It will be one hour on a weeknight and run by our Club’s technical directors/coaches or by trainers from Beestera. At this time, the day is to be determined, and will depend on the level of interest. The cost will be an additional $20, and can be selected at checkout.

Important Info
- Your child will need cleats (while sneakers can work it does get slippery in the mornings when the grass is wet so cleats are prefered), soccer socks, shin gaurds, water, and a soccer ball (size 3 for U8 and below, size 4 for U10 and U12).
- More information will go out as we approach the beginning of the season.
Communication
Communication will be done through GotSport. When registering, please include them main email for whom the communication needs to go through. This is the email that will be used for weekly emails, any cancellations, or other club communication.
Our program can’t run without volunteers!
Your child’s $75 registration fee is waived if you volunteer to help coach your child’s team. You DO NOT need experience in order to coach. Coaches will receive detailed practice plans for each week that are developed by the Club’s technical directors. This session we are also asking our coaches for help assisting at our extra practices (for older age groups), again no experience necessary, we’ll show you what to do! If you are registering as a coach, please use the same registration link but choose “Coach” as the pulldown option instead of “Player”. Use code “COACHDISCOUNT” at checkout. In order for the discount to work, you must register the player and coach at the same time.
