For ages 3 to 18 (U4 – U19), recreational soccer emphasizes fundamentals and instruction, while developing character traits like teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Children participating in recreational soccer will be placed on teams by neighborhood prior to the beginning of the season. Team selection also takes into consideration if the player is returning to a team or has submitted a friend or coach requests during registration.

All Division 4 games are played at the T&C Sports fields. Division 3 and above will play home games at T&C and away games at the opponent’s home field. Practices are held at both T&C and other local facilities. 

Competitive and Academy leagues provide an opportunity for players to challenge themselves and improve beyond recreational play. In competitive leagues, Pre-season player assessments are held for new players (8U and up) to show their skills in front of all the coaches for their league. Players are then placed on a team that best fits their skill set. Learn more about the tryout process.

Competitive teams at T&C have flexibility in choosing their uniforms as long as they adhere to T&C’s established guidelines.  Click for Uniform Guide Chart.

If you are a coach interested in coaching competitive soccer, such as taking a recreational team to a competitive level, contact your age group commissioner.

If you are a parent and you already know a coach of an appropriate team, contact the coach directly; otherwise, contact Rob Cowart, and he will help you understand the available opportunities.

A player’s soccer development age often differs from their birth age. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a player playing up a year. However, it is possible that there is everything wrong with a player playing up an age level if it is for the wrong reasons. It really comes down to skill level, soccer intelligence, physicality, emotional maturity and the reasoning for playing up.

Rather than going into detail, have a listen to the following podcast from Coaching Soccer Weekly. This podcast is from a coach’s perspective rather than a parent’s. However, it should provide great insight into the question.

This level of play is for players who are still working on the technical fundamentals and understanding of the game. It is the first step in becoming a technically sound player. It is a fun soccer laboratory where kids can experiment with different skills while playing with friends. A place where they can learn and grow without the competitive pressure of higher levels of play. However, players do compete and are challenged when they are on the field. Players at this level have the same opportunities for additional technical training, outside of team training and at no additional cost, as all other levels of play are offered. There is a required 50% playing time during games for every player at this level.

Division 3 teams play inter-league against other teams in the CAYSA area (Central Texas), so there is more travel to games, potentially from Temple to far south Austin, depending on where the other teams are and whether the game is Home or Away. Half the games will be played at T&C (the home games). Players at this level have the same opportunities for additional technical training, outside of team training and at no additional cost, as all other levels of play are offered. There is a required 50% playing time during games for every player at this level.

CAYSA usually organizes tournaments at the end of each season, inviting the teams with the best records during the regular season to participate.

*Tournaments are at an optional additional cost to the parent, team registration is roughly $600/tournament split between all the parents on the roster, plus coaches expenses. These fees are typically  somewhere around $60 per family per tournament, as teams get older and more competitive these fees may increase slightly with out of town travel and  hotel expenses.

T&C Soccer offers two distinct programs for select soccer players: Competitive and Premier. We have teams competing at the highest level of play locally and statewide with your choice of paid or volunteer coaching.

T&C Premier is our newest soccer program. We currently have girls and boys teams for the U11 – U14 age groups. These teams are coached by professional paid coaches and train 3 times a week for 18 weeks per season (Fall & Spring).

The T&C Soccer Academy is the second step on the Player Development Pathway at Town & Country Soccer, it forms a bridge between the U7/U8 Recreational and U11 Premier/Competitive programs and is a crucial part of our Player Development Pathway.

Our Academy Program is a player centric model where individual development is our primary focus, we teach the players the technique and tactics they require to enjoy the beautiful game in a professional developmental environment.

Our coaches work from the US Soccer Training & Planning Curriculum in order to make sure the players are being taught the appropriate information for their age, all sessions are built around the four pillars of the game; technical, tactical, physical and mental.

At T&C Soccer we truly believe that the child comes first, we work hard to ensure that all of the players are placed in a fun, developmental environment.

We run our own Development League on a Sunday afternoon for all players who are registered in the program, these games are developmental and we do not keep the scores, we change the teams around from week to week to maximize player development and new friendships.

We work with the players and help them understand the game and their role and responsibilities on the team whilst the parents sit back and enjoy.

We also place a number of teams in the CAYSA Academy, this is a local area league consisting of teams from other organizations around Austin. We place our stronger players who have had more experience and practice on these teams, players must be selected from the Development League to participate in additional games within the CAYSA Academy.
