Spring 2025 Registration OPEN

Recreation Program

Spring 2025 is an 8 week program that begins April 26th ends June 14th. 
$60
Late fee: $25 Feb 7th
Hard close Feb 28th

This program is dependent on community involvement and we need your help! We are revitalizing Minisink Valley Soccer Club and this will take some time. The more players and volunteer coaches who register, the more teams we can make for games against each other.

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 travel. We have very good numbers signed up for rec and anticipate making travel teams for U9-U12 this winter. 

Practice Schedule

• Practices are 2x a week for both recreation and travel. 
• Practice 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 practice day and time, please volunteer to coach. 
• Practices typically start at 5 or 5:30pm and are 1.5 hours or until dark. 
• Travel teams will have lights for fall practices. 
• Coaches will be given a practice plan that they must follow for the better development of individual players and the club as a whole. 

Games Schedule
