RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
Kids having fun. Playing soccer.
Rec Program Update (As of 8/11/16)
Team rosters – All age groups have been completed for players that registered early. We are continuing to try to place late registrations on teams and are working through a list of team change requests, starting with U5 and working up to U19’s. If your child is on a wait list, you will receive an email from our club admin if added to a team.
Practices – Practices will continue unless temperatures are above 104 and/or the air quality index is above 129. Practices may also be canceled at the coach’s discretion based on other factors as well.
Registration – registration for most of the age groups is now closed. If you are unable to register and would like your child to be placed on a waitlist please send an email to administrator@
Uniforms – The U5-U8 players will need the red/white reversible jersey and the U9-U19 will need the 2 piece red/white jersey set. If your child is playing in the U8 Academy you will need the U9-U19 jersey. All players will also need the black Nike shorts and the red Nike socks. If you have these items from last season you do not need to repurchase them. Off-Side Soccer is also offering a Kids Shoe Package for $39.99 which includes cleats, shin guards, and a ball.
*Once the teams are fully formed, you should receive an email directly from the coach with details on your practice schedule.
Season Details
Practices for the Recreational program begin in late July 2017
Practices are two nights a week on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday on various fields in schools and parks in Folsom (based on the coach’s preference). Practice days, times, and locations cannot be selected by parents/players or guaranteed by the Club
- Practices end around the end of October before Daylight Saving ends
- Each team will play 10 games during the season
A seeding tournament for U9-U14 teams takes place in August within Folsom and near-by communities like Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, etc. to ensure that teams are evenly matched during the regular season. Schedule and locations will be handed out at the mandatory coach meeting.
- Game schedules are typically released the week of the first game (after the seeding tournament is completed). For U9 through U14, games will take place within Folsom and near-by communities like Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, etc.
The first league games will be in late August
Teams will have a bye on Labor Day weekend and a bye on one weekend in October for re-seeding

Registration now open
Team Placement
- Unlike Rec programs at other clubs in the area, we try to keep our Rec teams together as much as possible from year to year
- Teams are placed into divisions in order to attempt to place teams with other teams that are similar in skill and ability
Recreational Uniforms
- U5 through U8 teams wear reversible red and white jerseys with black shorts and red socks
- U9 through U19 players have two jerseys (red and white)
- Each player must wear shin guards and we highly recommend wearing soccer cleats for better traction on the fields
