About Our Program

This is a developmental program with a strong focus on fundamental training. We train for each player’s future success in games. 

We follow a club wide curriculum so that all teams are learning the fundamentals of the game at the same time for maximum development. Coaches will be looking for club wide improvement not for their own team to win.

After age 7, If you want more advanced training, with high quality competition, please register for our Elite Teams. We have very good numbers signed up for rec and have a U9-10 Team, a U11-U12, and a U13-U14 Team. 

Training Schedule

  • Training is 2x a week for both recreation and Elite Teams. 
  • Days and time depend on field and coach availability as well as sunlight. There is no way to schedule them until registration is closed, teams are made, and coaches can provide availability. 
  • If you want a specific training day and time, please volunteer to coach. 
  • Training typically starts at 5 or 5:30pm and are 1.5 hours or until dark. 
  • Elite teams will have lights starting 2026-2027 fall training. 
  • Coaches will be given a training plan that they must follow for the better development of individual players and the club as a whole. 

Match Schedule

  • Recreation matches are Saturday mornings starting 9am.
    • Times are subject to registration numbers, age divisions, and field availability.
