What
CSA Recreational Soccer Program (Spring U6 - U15+/HS; Fall - U7/U8 age groups) is geared towards introducing the game of soccer and helping players develop their skills in a safe and fun environment. The program is run by adult Volunteer Coaches and Assistant Coaches.
Are you interested in coaching? Some of the benefits include a complimentary player registration. More information may be found on the coaching information page.
*IMPORTANT: In order to receive a registration credit, you must first submit your coaching license to recadoc@calvertsoccer.org. You will then receive a code to redeem during your player's registration. Do not register your player before receiving a code; the credit is not retroactive.
When
Players will meet for practice(s) during the week based on the availability of coaches and assistants. You will be contacted by your player's coach or a league representative at least a week prior to the regular season beginning with your player's practice location/day(s)/time. Coaches will inform the team of the game schedule once released. Games are usually held on Saturdays and/or Sunday afternoons, pending field availability (weather permitting).
Where
Groups/Teams are formed North (Dunkirk Area), Central (Prince Frederick Area), and South (Lusby Area) depending on the availability of fields, coaches, and registered players. *Regions/Areas and Divisions could be combined due to low registration numbers.
How Often
Typically, eight to twelve weeks (weather permitting). 1-2 practices in the evening during the week. 1-2 games on Saturday and/or Sunday. The fall program begins in late August and ends by early November. The spring program begins in mid-March and concludes by mid-June. There is no fall tournament. Only the spring season is followed by the Recreational "Calvert Cup" tournament.
What you need to bring
At practices, the player will need to wear athletic attire, shin guards, athletic footwear (cleats are not required but strongly encouraged), soccer ball, and plenty of water. A recreational uniform kit (mandatory), shin guards, and athletic footwear (cleats are not required but strongly encouraged) are needed for all games. All previous versions of our yellow and black jerseys are acceptable. Uniforms are mandatory and not included in season fees. You may purchase a uniform here - CSA Mandatory 2-1-1 Kit
