2024 Fall Youth Recreational Soccer • Register • View Cart •

This is a recreational league where the primary objective of the Youth Soccer Program is for the players to develop skills, learn good sportsmanship and above all, have fun. The emphasis is on self-improvement - to provide each player the opportunity to reach his/her own maximum potential development for the enjoyment of soccer. The emphasis is NOT on winning: each child will contribute to the “We, the Team” concept through equal and fair play.

FUNdamentals (Grade K-1) are co-ed teams. This is a two-year program where different skills are introduced and built upon each year. Professional soccer coaches will oversee the 1-hour sessions beginning at 1PM (Gr K.) and 2:15PM (Gr. 1). There are no weekly practices for the K & 1st Grade levels. Cleats are not required. First day is Saturday, Sept 7th and runs through Nov 2nd @ SBP. *No soccer on Sept 21 & Oct 12th. Each child should bring their own #3 size ball.

U8/Grade 2 is co-ed; Grade 2 practices on Thursday's from 5:30-6:30pm beginning 9/5-10/24 and are run by Soccer Shots. *Note, no soccer on 9/19 & 10/3. Soccer Shots will run the Saturday afternoon scrimmages from 3:30-4:30pm @ SBP. The first Saturday will be Sept 7th and runs through Nov 2nd @ SBP. *No soccer on Sept 21 & Oct 12th. Each child should bring their own #3 size ball.
