Expert coaches agree that recreation soccer should be kept a fun and accessible program. Combining higher levels of soccer players into a rec program creates an unbalanced, competitive focused playing environment that can be overwhelming for new and rec-level players. The goal of recreation soccer is to give all players the opportunity to learn while having fun. 

We will practice and play in light rain conditions. Cancellations may occur because of inclement weather including heavy rain or thunderstorms. Because of field availability, makeups will likely not occur. These cancellations will be announced to registered participants.
