Recreation Soccer with Mid County
Our recreation program is designed for youth players to practice, play, and
develop a love of soccer. The season begins in August and finishes in
November. Teams are instructed and coached by volunteers (often
parents) and have the support of numerous resources within our club.
Practice times and frequency are dependent on age. Younger teams (such
as “Under 6″ or U6) get together for a combined practice/game for one hour
on Saturdays…while older teams practice more frequently and play longer
games.
Our club creates teams for a wide variety of ages ranging from 4-years old
to 17-year old players. In general, teams are formed in age categories
which include two year spans. For example, “Under 6-years old” (more
commonly known as U6) includes players who are 4 and 5 years of age on
July 31st (prior to the opening of the season). If a player is 6 on July 31st,
they would be considered U8. Mid County Recreation teams are also
formed on a gender basis. Girls teams will only play against other girls
teams, etc.
Playing youth soccer is a tremendous experience for many youth players
(and families!). Meeting new friends, healthy competition, and learning
about soccer…are all part of it. Our club is only as great as we choose to
make it. The hard work and dedication of many volunteers help provide a
playing opportunity for close to 1000 players each season. We truly
appreciate the support and positive participation of our entire community.
