D3 Academy Recreational Soccer

Recreation soccer is played in the Fall (approximately beginning mid August/ Early September(age dependent) - end of October/ early November) & Spring (approximately beginning early to mid February until end of April/ early May).

All of our coaches are paid and experienced.  We are the only club in the area that pay our Rec coaches.  This allows your player to be able to be coached by experienced coaches that focus on individual player development, as well as teaching players to be part of a team.

Below birth years are for upcoming Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 seasons.

FIRST TOUCH 2s

Birth year 2022  (Or 2021 if parents prefer to start w/ First Touch)
Cost= $85 per season

Our First Touch program is designed to give 2 year old players a positive "first touch" of the soccer ball.  We use games, simple instructions, and constant movement to do this.  Sessions last 45 minutes and take place Saturday morning.  It is a great way to build a child's love of the game.  We are one of only a few clubs that offer a program for this age group.  The kids have fun and stay active.  Most sessions are on Saturday mornings.
Cost is $85 per season and includes a uniform jersey.

MINI KICKERS

Birth year 2021  (Or 2020 if parents prefer to start w/ Mini Kicker Program)
Cost= $85 per season

Our Mini Kickers program is for players 3 years old and beginner 4 year olds.  The program introduces players to the fundamentals of soccer.  We begin challenging them to think about ball movement, passing, and teamwork.  Practices and games are combined in a 45 minute session mostly on Saturdays.
Cost includes a uniform jersey.

D3 ACADEMY

D3= "Dedication, Determination, Discipline"

Birth years 2020 and later
Cost:
U5 - U8 (Pre K- 2nd Grade)= $110
U9 and older (3rd Grade and older)= $125

"U" stands for "Under"

Our academy program is unlike anything in the area.  Our philosophy is simple: All players need to be successful and challenged. They practice one night a week and have one game on the weekend.  There is a possibility of week night games at the end of the seasons if there is a decent amount of foul weather in the beginning of the season. Cost also includes a uniform jersey.

For age groups U9 and older there will be a small amount of travel involved.  These age groups play in a NCFC Rec group with teams from around the area. Costs include 2 practices per week and a uniform jersey.
