Offered Programs

  6U Recreational:
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.

8U Recreational:
The 8U Recreational soccer is a small sided developmental program for 6-7 year old players. At this age it is extremely important for players to master the skills and fundamentals needed to progress in travel soccer at the older ages. Winning games is not the focus of 8U and while games will be played, no standings will be kept throughout the season.

9U - 15U Travel:
9U - 14U Travel Soccer is a program for those boys and girls aged 8-15 who want a more rigorous schedule and game schedule than recreational soccer. Select soccer is a one year commitment (both spring and fall).
