RECREATION FAQ
Question 1: When does the season start/end?

Thanksgiving and the Spring season ends before Memorial Day.

Answer: All Recreation levels practice at Churchland Soccer Fields. Recreation players U3-U8 play all games at Churchland Soccer Fields. Recreation players U9-U12 play 4 home games at Churchland Soccer Fields and 4 away games at other local soccer fields.
Question 3: What day/s of the week will my child have practice?
Answer: The day/s of the week and time of practice is chosen by the volunteer coach, but when you register you can request days for practices.
Question 4: When will I hear from my child's coach?

Answer: Yes. Uniforms are distributed by your coach at practice or on the day of the first game.

Churchland Soccer League (CSL) provides a fun Recreational soccer program for children in ages 3 to 12. The playing brackets are broken down into U3/4, U5, U6, U7, U8, U10, & U12 for coed Recreation; and U7 and U8 for coed ADP Academy.
If your player is above the recreational level and you're looking for a more challenging level of play for them, click here for more details on our Advanced or Travel Level.
Each age bracket has a cutoff starting on January 1st. A player who turns the U# age (i.e.: if U8, turns 8) on January 1st or after is in that division for the season. The U stands for "under". Players who are under the U# age before the cutoff date are considered age appropriate for the playing year (Fall and Spring).
These are the age brackets for our Recreational and Advanced programs.
