RECREATIONAL SOCCER

Recreational soccer places fun as a priority. Most children start playing recreational soccer to learn the rules and foster a  love of the game. Recreational soccer is usually offered for all ges, but it is much more popular among younger players as they are introduced to the sport.

In recreation soccer, the coaches are usually volunteers - oftentimes parents of one of the players. Recreational leagues emphasize equal playing time for all the players, so no one feels left out and everyone gets a chance to participate. Also, there are no tryouts required for recreational soccer.

If a player in recreational soccer decides they want a more competitive environment, they can move up to academy soccer or competitive soccer, depending on their age.
