Age Groups
Note: Ages groups have been modified to align to player skill levels and ensure we have the numbers to play a Boys and Girls league in the 13+ age group. Players are encouraged to play up an age group whenever possible. If you have any questions on whether your player should play up please contact the appropriate age group coordinators via our ‘Contact Us’ link in the left menu.

LEAGUE INFORMATION:
The In-House recreation league is designed to allow players to increase their soccer skills while learning to play the game. All players will play approximately eight games in the season. This allows for the fun of the game while participating in a little competition as well. Practices begin in the end of August and the first games will begin September 9th.
TEAM AND COACH REQUESTS
We are not able to accept requests for players to be assigned to specific coaches or to play with specific players. We understand that getting kids to practice and games can be challenging. During registration, we allow parents to specify which practice nights work within their schedule. We do honor coaches team requests (coaches and assistant coaches who request to work together).
PRACTICE DAYS
Each team will practice once per week. Please complete the registration form carefully. Teams are assigned based on practice availability and cannot be changed once they are made.
COACHING
New to coaching? Not sure if you have what it takes? We are always looking for coaches and are willing to train and mentor new coaches. We encourage parents who are interested in coaching to volunteer. If you have volunteered and want some guidance and assistance, please let us know and we will connect you with a coach mentor.
