Soccer for the City™

Our Pre-K & Kindergarten divisions are open to children as young as 3 years old through kindergarten and play a 6-week season with pre-game practice. Players in grades 1st through High School are scheduled for an 8-week season with one weeknight practice time.  The pre-k, kindergarten and high school divisions are coed. Teams are coached by parent volunteers.  In many divisions, new teams will be created and parents would be asked to volunteer.

We will try to place players together from the same school and we will look at teammate and coach requests.  Please know that we cannot guarantee team placement or practice days/times/locations.  Join us in playing Soccer for the City! Fee, registration information and an information center area are available are below to help guide you.
