Recreational (U4-U19)
Recreational is our entry level program designed for players who are new to the game or just looking to play for fun. Within this program there are two divisions based on age group: D4 (U4-U10) and D3 (U11-U19).
Fall 2025 Recreation Soccer
Recreational Soccer for the Fall 2025 season is closed. Spring 2026 Registration should open in December. Sign up for registration alerts below.
Program Details
With over 1500 players competing annually, our in-house program for U4-U19 players is the foundation of the club.
Recreational soccer focuses on the FUNdamentals, blending essential skills with character development like teamwork and good sportsmanship.
Players are assigned to teams in a variety ways: they can return to their previous team, request to play with a friend/coach, or be placed with kids from their neighborhood or school during registration.
Please check the calendar for the return-to-team deadline, as team placement can’t be guaranteed after this date. Remember, no tryouts are required for Recreational soccer.
For 50 years our Recreational program has been built upon volunteer involvement. From Coaches to Assistants, Commissioners and Game Day Helpers. It takes a village and we could not do it without you. Many thanks to those who step up each season to help make things work for the kids.

D4 Practice Information
Please note that practice days and times for U6-U10 players cannot be requested before registration. However, during registration, you can indicate a day of the week when you are unavailable for practice. The specific practice day and time will be set by the Volunteer Parent Coach.
To guarantee your preferred practice day, consider volunteering as a coach. Your assigned coach will reach out with details about practice scheduling the week before the first session.
For U4 and U5 teams, there are no weekday practices; they will have a session before their weekend games. Most U6-U10 teams practice once a week, typically at T&C, with available time slots from 5:00 to 6:15 PM or 6:30 to 7:45 PM.
