Recreational Soccer League

League Description

Recreational Soccer is a great way to develop your child's skills with one practice and one game per week. Volunteer coaches use smaller goals and fields for younger age levels with modified rules to provide maximum player success. Everyone participates in a seven-week season with boys and girls in separate leagues.

Ages

Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
