Our Recreation program is an option for our U5-U19 aged-players (U=Under); it is open to all based on age (no tryout required) and is our least competitive program. Players are placed, to the best of our ability, on teams based on their location.  However, please note, because of teams and program availability, you may play or practice on ANY field within Stafford County.

• U3/U4 players participate in the U3/U4 STARS program (Friday evenings) Click here for more information about the U3/U4 STARS .
• U5 players participate in the U5 STARS program (Saturday mornings) Click here for more information about the U5 STARS .
• Our U6 players are the youngest age group in Stafford Soccer where the participants partake in formal games. Coaches and/or a parent volunteer act as referees. U6- U8  age groups will typically have one training session per week and one game.
  
• Beginning in our U10 age group through high school, official (non-volunteer) referees are used in all games. U10-High School age will typically have two training sessions and one game.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT RECREATION PRACTICE SESSIONS AND TEAM BUILDING: Our wonderful volunteer coaches choose the day, time and location (based on county quadrants) of practice sessions.  Practice session time blocks are generally 5:30pm-6:30pm OR 6:30pm-7:30pm (some older teams practice from 7:30pm-8:30pm). **You will not know the day of week OR time slot prior to the start of the season. We do not take special requests regarding day of week or time preferences. We do not offer refunds for practice conflicts.  Coaches will contact their teams with practice info after receiving their team roster the day of the Coaches Meeting. 

**Our head coaches are parent/community volunteers and we allow them to choose the fields and times that work the best for them. Need a certain time/day to practice?  Contact us to coach your child's team! Teams are finalized the week of the coaches meeting and then head coaches reach out to the families with practice info the week after the coaches meeting. 

Players typically "stay together" from Fall of one season to the next Spring as long as the coach returns and the player registers and pays on time.  Teams are completely re-built new each fall season, with no "player returning rights" to return to a certain team. We allow special requests as long as the information is noted in the correct area at the time of registration. Please note, we do our best to accommodate your special request but due to many moving parts, we cannot make a guarantee. If you have any questions regarding practice sessions or team building please contact [email protected]

The chart below outlines our fee schedule for the Recreation program:

Our Recreation division is a volunteer program. ALL of our Recreation coaches are volunteers and are typically parents, family members  or members of the community. Occasionally, we may lose a coach due to unexpected transfer or deployment.  Our office staff will contact the rostered team members to try and find a replacement coach.  If no one from the team will coach, the team will be dismantled and the members will be granted a full refund.

Do you have 3 or more registered players in your family?  Call the office to receive your discount. 540.657.0734 or email [email protected]

Due to VYSA rules, we cannot allow players to age down. Please note, age up and special requests are NOT GUARANTEED to be honored.  CLICK HERE for more info about age ups.

We hope you join us for a great season of soccer!
