Skylands Recreation Soccer

Skylands Soccer Club Recreational Program provides soccer programs for children from ages 3 to 14.  It is available for everyone who wants to play. There are no tryouts or prerequisites. If you register your child during regular registration period they will be placed on a team. We can not guarantee placement after the registration deadline. Teams are broken down into age groups based on your child's birth year. All recreation teams are co-ed.  We try to keep our teams age pure, so that players are playing against competition of their same age and same basic level of talent and maturity. We do this for the safety of the children. In general, we only make rare exceptions to this rule in order to make sure there is a place for everyone to play.
