About Our Program
We are a 100% volunteer organization that runs a recreational soccer program, a select soccer program and a travel soccer program for the local communities.
- The recreational soccer program includes a Fall season which runs from end of September to December (registration generally begins in August) and a Spring Season which runs from March to May (registration generally begins in January). Early registration (Fee is $125.00) will be offered each season and will guarantee a place in the program (Regular registration fee is $135.00). All applications received during the late registration (Fee is $165.00) dates will not be guaranteed a place in the program and will be on first come first served basis. All practices and games are held at Vineyards Community Park. Each team practices once a week on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday at either 6:00pm or 7:30pm. the day of practice is decided when the teams are formed. You can a chose one day that you cannot practice and we will not assign you that day providing we have practice days for the remaining days. We try to schedule younger teams at 6:00pm, however, we cannot guarantee practice times. Each team plays one game each week on Saturday. Game times are rotated every week. Currently, we have boys and girls teams in each of the following divisions: U7, U8, U9, U10, U12 and U14, and Coed teams in the following divisions: PS, U6 and HS.
- The select program runs from first week of January until mid February and it includes 2-3 local tournaments. Currently, there are boys & girls teams in the U8, U9, U10, U12, U14 & U18 boys & girls.
- The Azzurri Storm program runs from August 25th until Mid April . Players must tryout & qualify to play on the Azzurri Storm teams.
Your player's age on December 31 determines in which division they will play each season. We provide each player with a shirt, shorts and socks. Each player will need to have shinguards, cleats and a ball (size 3 for PS, U6, U7 and U8 divisions, size 4 for U9, U10 and U12 divisions, and size 5 for U14 and HS divisions) to participate in the program. During practices, teams may play small-sided or full-sided games with teams from different divisions including teams with players of the opposite gender.
We are a 100% volunteer organization and the success of the program depends on the support of all participants in the program, including coaches and sponsors. We provide all coaches with field training sessions and practice plan materials. We also hold two coaches' meetings each season to discuss issues and ideas to help further develop the program. Coaching is a great way to get involved with your children and can be extremely rewarding, so please consider your availability when registering your children in the program. In addition, sponsoring a team is also a great way to help support this community program. Coach and sponsor registration forms are available under the Registration link on the Main Menu.
Registration forms and fees are available under Registration & Forms on the Main Menu. The season schedules are available under Calendar on the Main Menu.
