Parks and Rec Fall Soccer Gr 5-6Sports5th/6th Grade Co-Ed Soccer offers an opportunity for students to learn and play the game of soccer with fellow classmates. The season will run from September 9th - October 12. Students will be split into teams that will practice either M/W or T/Th each week and then each team will play 9 games and then a final 10th game based on where they are in the standings. Practices will help develop the student’s skills from basic to advanced while learning the team concepts of soccer. Games will mostly be on Saturday mornings but occasionally they could be on a Friday evening or the evening of a practice. Due to the number of students we ask that players only come the days they have practice but you can contact the director if another arrangement is needed for your student in terms of scheduling. When registering please note if your player could only make M/W or T/TH or if they could do either. Come experience or discover the fun of soccer. Register BY September 1st to avoid a late fee of $10. **All players are asked to be there for September 9th and 10th as that helps us evaluate players and assign teams and then starting September 14th they would only come the days their team practices.***Summer 2026 -
