Interested in coaching? We need volunteers! Click here to register to coach this Spring!

For a general understanding of our program, see the OVERVIEW below:

Overview

The spring program will be similar to our Fall Rec program. We will form U6, U8, U10, and a combined U12 and U14 age group (based off the 2024 calendar year). These teams will be co-ed and led by a parent-volunteer head coach. Training sessions will be determined by your coach and held on NVUSD fields.

Your player will receive age-appropriate practice sessions designed by our Recreational Programs Director.

Our program is designed for players to learn the game of soccer and have fun. By the end of the 8-week program your player will learn new soccer skills, develop a better understanding of the game, and make new friends.

For some of our advanced players, the program will better prepare them for our club/academy tryouts which will take place in May.

Our program will only be successful if we have parent-volunteer coaches who to lead their team in trainings and games. Parents will have the opportunity to sign up to volunteer on the registration page or by clicking here.

There is limited space in our Spring Rec program so don’t hesitate to register.
