Express Recreational Soccer

Welcome to the Express Recreational Soccer Program!  Our recreational soccer program annually serves over 1700 children from grades Kindergarten through 8. Players born between 9/1/2020 and 1/1/2010 are eligible for the 2025 season. We emphasize fun, skill-building and sportsmanship. All children play at least 50% of the time during the season and the teams are organized with a goal of enabling children to play with kids from their same school or neighborhood. Rec soccer is parent and volunteer-driven.  We need parents to coach and sponsor the teams.  Without volunteer coaches, the league cannot function.

Express Soccer Club offers a FALL PROGRAM of 10 games. The season begins the weekend after Labor Day.  All players receive a uniform (jersey, shorts, socks.)  Registration will open in Spring. Registration officially concludes June 30th, but in some cases, late registrations are accepted after that to fill teams. We can place everyone as long as we have enough volunteers and sufficient players to fill a roster. Again, the engine that drives the program is VOLUNTEER COACHES. Please VOLUNTEER to coach.

Our teams are based on grade level through middle school and there are four playing formats to promote player development. Micro soccer (Kindergarten and First Grade) play 4 v 4 without a goalie and on-field coaches/referees.  Juniors (Second Grade) will play 7 x 7 with a goalie and on-field coach/referee. Second, third, and fourth graders will play 7 v 7 with a goalie and official referees. The 5th and 6th graders play 9 v 9, with regulation 11 v 11 soccer beginning at middle school both with official referees. The smaller sided games give each player more touches on the ball and 'touches on the ball' is how they improve.
