Recreational Soccer Program
REC GAMES START SEPTEMBER 25 (U5 and U6), SEPTEMBER 26 (U7-U16) AND SEPTEMBER 28 (U4)!
Our recreational soccer league is a community focused endeavor that offers children in Middle Georgia an opportunity to learn the game of soccer in a fun, low pressure environment. While our Rec program is competitive and each season ends with a tournament, winning and losing is not the primary goal of the program. This program is the primary mission o the Club and relies heavily on the volunteer work of its board members and its participants. So, any and all volunteer assistance is welcome.
If you have any questions that cannot be answered below, please do not hesitate to email us.

U5 & U6 New BallList Item 2
Under 5 & 6 Soccer (aka New Ball) is a wonderful program designed to introduce young children to the game of soccer. First and foremost, New Ball soccer is about kids having FUN! At this level, kids play small-sided soccer in a 3v3 format emphasizing fun and basic soccer skills. Teams are limited to a maximum of six players per team so each child plays at least half of every game. New Ball soccer differs from soccer in older age groups in that (1) no score is kept, (2) coaches are on the field with the players during the game encouraging the players and teaching them basic soccer, (3) the playing field is small (usually 20 yards wide by 30 yards long), and (4) there is no goalkeeper.
As a result, the benefits of New Ball are:
- New Ball = More touches on the ball which means faster skill development and increased enjoyment of the game.
- New Ball = More playing time with the ball actively in play
- New Ball = a faster game, which will produce more goals and more excitement, while at the same time de-emphasizing the importance of scoring and emphasizing play and fun.
- New ball allows non-assertive players to be more involved by rolling the new ball to those players
- New Ball has been a successful development rool around the country.

U16 programList Item 4
This Division provides full field, 11v11 soccer. The program covers middle school (and those players sooner to enter or just leaving middles school). We will make every effort to have gendered divisions for this group. As a result we may have to play 9v9. This decision will be made after registration closes since it is based on the amounts of players who register.
