About Our Program

We offer fall and spring recreational youth soccer for boys and girls in Pre-K (age 4) through 8th grade. We focus on creating a fun environment where kids of all skill levels can learn and enjoy the game of soccer.

As a volunteer-driven program, our coaches are parents and community members who are passionate about helping kids grow, both on and off the field.

Join us and be part of the Carbondale soccer community!

Format

Both fall and spring seasons include six weeks of games. Games are held on Saturday mornings, and practices take place on weeknights (1-2 times per week), as determined by each team's coach. For our Pre-K and Kindergarten divisions, there are no weeknight practices. Instead, they meet on Saturday mornings for a combined session that includes a 30-minute practice followed by a 30-minute game.
