2025 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. Small sided scrimmages will be incorporated as well. Soccer Shots 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 6th and runs through Nov 1st @ SBP. *No soccer on Oct 11th. Each child should bring their own #3 size ball. 
**If you are interested in volunteering to assist with coaching, please contact Terri @ 860-844-5289 or tziemnicki@granby-ct.gov. 

U8/Grade 2 is co-ed; Like grades 3-8, this division is run by volunteer coaches who will pick a night during the week for the weekly practices. Grade 2 practices once a week and then has 1 game on Saturdays from 3:30-4:30pm at SBP. The Saturday games will be organized/reffed by Soccer Shots coaches and in house.....no travel to other towns. The first Saturday will be Sept 6th and runs through Nov 1st @ SBP. *No soccer on Oct 11th. Each child should bring their own #3 size ball. Practices begin the week of August 25th. A colored tshirt and socks will be handed out prior to the first game. You will hear which team your child is on and the practice day AFTER the coaches meet on August 16th.
**If you are interested in volunteering to be a head coach or assistant coach, please contact Terri @ 860-844-5289 or tziemnicki@granby-ct.gov. There will be a coaches meeting to select teams on Saturday, August 16th from 1-2pm in the Gathering Room at Salmon Brook Park.
