Why Recreational Soccer

Our Recreational League has a wide range of benefits for children and teens. Participation in a team sport can introduce and foster character growth, as well as provide for their physical and emotional well-being. Recreational soccer is a soccer program mainly focusses on the enjoyment and development of soccer players without the intensity of high-level competition. The intent of recreational soccer is to provide an opportunity for the players to have fun, learn the fundamentals of the sport, and develop a lifelong love of the game. Our Recreational League is available to kids born between 2020-2006.
