Program Overview
Recreation soccer is intended for all kids. Kids in our recreation program will learn soccer, be with their friends, and have a lot of fun! We have a Spring and Fall seasons. After you register, a coach will contact you about the program, practice night, and games. In the Fall, most recreation teams practice one night during the week and have a game on Saturday. Our U6 program, for kids 6 years of age and younger, plays only on Saturday. In the Spring the format varies and is detailed below.
Ages / Divisions
Our age groups are based on age as of august 1st.
U6
Kids in our Under 6 program are 5 or 6 years old.
U6 players must be at least 5 years old as
of December 31st. U6 plays on
Saturday mornings or early afternoon in the fall. Our format
is very simple and fun. The Tolland Soccer Club's
introduction to the sport, our U6 program is designed to help
kids learn to love the game. Saturday morning sessions in
the Fall and a single Weeknight session in the
Spring will use developmentally appropriate activities to
teach soccer basics as well as to develop overall motor skills.
Most activities will engage your child in a "one child, one ball"
setting to maximize their enjoyment and learning. Sessions will
conclude with informal 3 v 3 scrimmages for them to learn to apply
the skills they've learned. A
seperate, similar, spring program is offered on a
weeknight, with sign-ups in February and March.
U8, U10, U12, U14
Kids in these brackets practice one night a week. Games
are on Saturday in the Fall. A spring soccer
program is offered but registered for seperately.
In the Spring, the U8 division practices and plays games afterward
on a single Weeknight. U10, U12 and U14 teams practice one
night a week in the Spring, and play a game, often against other
towns, on the weekend.
U19
This is an informal COED league that plays on Friday
nights in Tolland against neighboring towns. Additional
game opportunities are available on Saturday in
Marlborough. This bracket is only open to
players who do not play on the highschool soccer team.
