Rec League Description

Spring Rec starts Monday, April 21 and ends Saturday, June 14 (no soccer on May 24 – Memorial Day weekend).
The Fall Rec program will be held on Monday's and Saturday's from August 11th through September 27th. September 27th will be the end of the season tournament.

Rec club Objectives

Develop soccer players at an early age. Teach basic skills of soccer. Have fun.

Age groups

For the Rec league we use the standard Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA) group age guidelines. The groups are called U6, U7, U8, U9, U10, etc. where U means equal to or under that age as of July 31. The MYSA soccer year runs from Aug 1 to July 31. Example: if your daughter is 9 years old when the Rec season starts in Aug but will be 10 before July 31 of the following summer she is a U10 player. It’s a little confusing but if you play MYSA soccer you will get used to it. MYSA has a Birth year Guidelines web page that might help you.
