Recreation Soccer

2026 Spring Recreation Soccer Sign-Up
Program Overview:
The SWSC Recreation Soccer Program is for players Pre-K (age 4) to 6th grade and is designed as an introduction to soccer with a mix of skill training and game play with an emphasis on fun. Younger ages are “non-results orientated” meaning there are no official game scores or standings. Older ages (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grade) may introduce official scoring. Coaches will play everyone equally and move players around the field in all different positions. Players are free to try things, make mistakes, learn, and have fun.

Volunteer Coaches

Please Consider Volunteering

Like most recreation-level youth sports programs, we depend on Volunteer Parent Coaches. We try to have two (or more) coaches for each team so that a parent does not need to be there for every session to volunteer. Soccer and/or coaching experience is nice but not required especially at the younger ages – we will provide coaching assistance.

You can select to be a volunteer on the Playmetrics registration. You will receive a 75% discount, if selected as a coach.
