Everything You Need to Know

New to the game or returning for another season? Here's a quick overview of what to expect in our fall soccer program.

About Soccer

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, played on a grass field with two teams competing to score goals. Players advance the ball using their feet, head, or body — no hands allowed (except the goalkeeper).

Our program emphasizes fun, skill development, and sportsmanship at every age level. All skill levels are welcome.

What to Bring

Gear up for the season:

  • Cleats (highly recommended)
  • Shin guards (required)
  • Long soccer socks (to cover shin guards)
  • Athletic shorts and t-shirt
  • Water bottle

Game balls are provided. Team jerseys are distributed at the start of the season.

Game Format

The fall season runs from September through November, with games typically held on weekends. Each age group plays on an appropriately sized field with modified rules.

  • Micro: 4v4, no goalkeeper
  • U8: 5v5, small field
  • U10: 7v7, mid-size field
  • U12: 9v9, full youth field
