Recreational Soccer (U8-U14)

Our Rec Soccer program begins at second grade (U8) and continues up through 8th grade. Teams are separated by gender as well as age. Players will compete in games against other member clubs within THJSL; games are scheduled by THJSL and most are played within the THPRD boundary.

In the fall, practices typically begin in late August. Games, held on Saturdays, are played throughout September and October. The spring season is slightly shorter, lasting through April and May.

Practices may be held on Monday-Thursday evenings. During most of the fall season, teams practice twice a week, and in the late fall and the spring, teams practice once a week. Coaches will sign up for their preferred day and communicate time and location information with the team.
