PROGRAM DETAILS

With over 1500 players competing annually, our in-house program for U4-U16 players is the foundation of T&C Soccer.

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 5:15 to 6:30PM or 6:30 to 7:45 PM.
