U13-U19 RECREATIONAL FULL-SIDED FALL SOCCER PROGRAM
Recreation soccer is for older players who are ready for full-sided soccer. They play 11v11 and adhere all of the Laws of the Game. As players physically mature, the size of the ball and the length of the match will increase until they are playing with a full-size #5 ball and playing 45-minute halves.
