Recreational Soccer
Program Description
The Recreational soccer program is for any 9-15 year old boy or girl of any ability, interested in playing soccer in a fun and stimulating atmosphere. Our recreational teams are coached by wonderful volunteers who are parents of players, or extended family members, or coaches who are willing to help youth by sharing their time and talents! Additional support is given by a professional coaching staff throughout each fall and spring season, to enhance the overall soccer experience and knowledge acquired by each player. The player curriculum, enforced and followed by the professional coaching staff, is supplied and supported from Rush National.
