About Us

The Recreation program, or “Rec” as it’s more commonly called, is the foundation of our club, and is designed for players to develop skills and an appreciation for the wonderful game of soccer. Every season, St. Mary’s Soccer offers your player a fun and safe environment to learn about soccer, good sportsmanship, and the benefits of teamwork. Our Rec program is available to any player ages 4–18, regardless of experience and ability.

 

Age groups are determined by birth year, are adjusted each fall, and remain the same for the following spring season.

 

The St. Mary's Soccer Rec program has specific divisions for our younger players to best develop their individual soccer skills. For more information about these divisions, you can check out our Kiddie Kick (U04/U05) and Academy (U06/U07/U08) options.

 

If your players desire a more competitive environment and have a wish to further improve their skills, please take a look at our RecPlus and Travel programs.

Teams

Below is an explanation of our registration process.

 

The system shows all available practice locations/times based on a player's age. Everyone has a fair opportunity to find the situation that works best for them. These spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. When a roster is full, no additional players will be added.

We cannot expand rosters beyond our set limits to give players their preferred placement. Expanding rosters takes playing time away from everyone and reduces the number of players available to other teams.
