Recreational
Recreational Soccer Program
Recreational soccer is open to all players ages 8-14 (starting with birth year 2017) and offers players, families, and volunteer coaches an enjoyable soccer experience focused on developing each player and fostering a love of the game. The Club plays in the Iowa Soccer League Level 3 Central Division. The fall season will tentatively run from 25Aug through 26Oct. Matches are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday afternoons with home matches being held at Dowling Catholic High School (games are tentatively 06Sep through 26Oct). Game schedules will be published at the start of the season.
Players will be placed on teams on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to register early to secure your child's place. While registrations received by 20Jul will be prioritized, if we do not have enough players to form a team in your child's age group, your child may be placed on a wait-list, asked to play on a co-ed team, and/or asked to play in an older age group.
Fees:
Discounted Rate: $175 if registration is received prior to 15Jul
Regular Rate: $190 if registration is received between 16Jul and 20Jul
Players will receive a training t-shirt and technical instruction during the season from the soccer coaching staff
Uniforms can be purchased from Soccer.com prior to the start of the season once teams have been finalized

There are numerous opportunities to assist the club: painting the fields, becoming a Board member, coaching a team, etc. Please reach out if you are interested in supporting! Volunteers will receive a discount for player registration.
