We will have team placement assessments for 10U, 12U, 14U, and 16U teams. 6U and 8U teams will be randomly picked based on criteria from registration (advanced, intermediate, and beginner players split evenly among teams).

Team Placement Date/Times: Saturday, August 9 @ Lee County Fairgrounds (505 N 5th Street)

10U: 10:30-11:30 AM
12U: 11:30-12:30 PM
14U and 16U: 12:30-1:30 PM

Drafts for these age groups will occur immediately following the team assessments. This is open to coaches only.

During team placement assessments players will perform basic soccer drills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, small sided games, and scrimmaging.

WHAT IS REC SOCCER?

Recreational Soccer does not require trying out, merely signing up!

Every player who signs up within the registration period is guaranteed a spot on a team. Late registrants ARE NOT guaranteed placement on a team. For first-time registrants, a copy of the player’s birth certificate must accompany the registration form with full payment.

The primary focus at this level of play is fun, skill development, and teamwork development. No official scores are kept for matches and all players will play at least one-half of the game.
