Yes! Players entering their U9 seasonal year can choose to play Recreational instead going to competitive. According to IYSA guidelines, the new soccer year officially begins on August 1st. While your player can certainly move to Rec Royals for the upcoming Fall/Spring cycle, we highly encourage them to attend competitive tryouts to gain valuable experience and explore the next level of play!

  • Current players register online here. Those who can’t attend tryouts will need to let their coach know so he or she can tell them if they have a spot on their team for the upcoming soccer year. Then the player can register in the same link here to accept the spot.
  • For prospective new players, coaches will notify players if they have made their team starting after the first tryout session on Monday, June 8th (or on June 9th if they did not attend on June 8th). To accept the spot, please complete the registration online with our club in our web site.
