Community                               Registration Link

June - August 2024

Community soccer is for players who want to play games in a relaxed, fun environment where they are able to play with their friends in their local community. These programs are ideal for players who are not interested in the performance pathway or unable to commit as much time.

Whether you are new to the sport and want to try it out or have experience playing but don't wish to play at a competitive level, this is the spot for you.
