Sport: An activity requiring physical ability, physical fitness, or technique and strategy in which usually, but not always, involves competition between two or more people

Importance of sports in your child's life:

Where else can a young, impressionable youth learn values like discipline, responsibility, self confidence, sacrifice, leadership and determination?   Yes, as parents we try to instill these values in our children but it is much more effective if they are learning as they are having fun.  Sports, in an invisible way, will teach your child each of these extremely valuable principles.  

Most importantly your children learn what it is to have fun and how it feels to be successful.

PeeWee Soccer is you child's first introduction to the sport. Cost will be about 60.00 - 75.00 dollars. 

Age Commitment
Boys and Girls age 3-5 Season is 6 - 8 weeks long. You will meet once or twice a week for about 45 minutes to an hour

Recreational Soccer  focuses more on fun than competition. Your child will not have to try out for this league.  Cost is approximately 75.00 - 90.00 dollars.
 

Age Commitment
Boys and Girls age 7-18 Fall Soccer - Middle of September to Thanksgiving.
Spring season
- Beginning of April to the middle of June.
Practice once per week for about 1 hour.
Season will consist of about eight regular season games, once per week on Saturday or Sunday.  In addition, your team will participate in a tournament at the end of each season.

Travel Soccer requires high skill level.  Tryouts are mandatory for a position on the team. If you have a very active team that does several out of town tournaments and the two winter sessions it will probably cost you about 1000.00  - 1200.00 dollars for the year.
