Recreational Soccer Program
Level: Beginner/Intermediate
Age: U9- U15 (8th grade)
Our Recreational (Rec) Program is a beginner to intermediate level competitive soccer program designed to provide a fun learning environment that promotes player growth. It is both a continuation of the player's development from the IM program and an entry level program for players that are new to the game. The program will continue to focus on developing players' individual ball skills through both practice and match play. In addition to individual skill development, players will develop an increased understanding of the game's rules, tactics and strategies. Players can also choose to continue to play at the REC level to 8th grade.
