Micro & In-House Rec Soccer Programs

The Twin County Soccer Association has been bringing the sport of soccer to this area for more than 35 years!!!


 

Twin County Soccer Association's Micro & Rec. programs are aligned with US Youth Soccer Player Development models and best practices, the ONLY local program that can make that claim. We are uniquely qualified to design a program to develop your child's love affair with the game of soccer. Come experience a youth soccer program unmatched in the area that will offer increased contact time and is focused on fun, learning, and player development.

The training provided to players in our Micro and Recreation level programs is provided by professional trainers. All staff members are fully licensed coaches both in the United States & Europe and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each child. Through age appropriate curriculum and a methodology that has proven successful across many years, Twin County S.A. will ensure that players are given the proper instruction necessary to develop the technical fundamentals of the game at an early age and the tactical knowledge as they progress. No other program in the area is better equipped than Twin County S.A. is for preparing your child for future success in the sport while allowing them to enjoy the fun of learning and competition.

The aim of our Micro & Recreational program is to provide the youth of Brick Township and the surrounding area with a quality soccer program focused on player development and learning. Our program offers young players the opportunity to train under some of the best training staff within the state. Of course, the opportunity to test those skills is provided through gameplay in both programs. Everyone gets a chance to play in our program with the emphasis on trying to get each player in for 50% of the game.

Our Micro & Recreational programs provide for the development & training of players with the intent of enriching the experience for the player.  The structure of the program allows for all players to be placed in the most appropriate training environment that will eventually feed seamlessly into our more advanced travel teams. Starting at the U-8 level, Twin County S.A. fields boy's and girl's teams in the Ocean County Rec and MOSA Soccer Leagues. The player that wants to challenge themselves at a higher level is afforded the opportunity to tryout and be evaluated for a position on those teams.

Twin County Soccer Association Micro & In-House Refund Policy


Our staff guarantees a quality program that you can be happy with, but we are always looking for ways to better improve our programs. We also understand that situations change and that we cannot always accommodate everyone. In every program there is the initial setup and administration that takes place to make it successful and run smoothly. We also try to keep our costs down and affordable. For these reasons, we have enacted a refund policy.

Any refund request must be made by a parent or guardian in writing to the TCSA Program Coordinator/Administrator, not your child's coach. An e-mail will be considered a written request. 

Guidelines:

  • A 100% refund will be given if a child cannot be placed on a team due to space/coach limitations.
  • Any player who withdraws prior to participating in the first calendar scheduled session of the season shall be entitled to a full refund of their registration fee (less $10 processing and administrative charge) only provided that the player/parent submits a request for refund in writing and returns the unused uniform.  There will be a $30 fee for non-returned uniforms.
  • Any refund request(s) must be made in writing before the start of the second calendar scheduled session deadline. 
  • No refunds will be granted for no-shows or requests made after the deadline for refund requests.
  • A conflict with another sport does not trigger a refund. There are no refunds due to inclement weather.
  • Any player who withdraws after participating in the first game session of the season shall not be entitled to a refund of the registration fee. 
  • In the case when registrations are submitted for two seasons (fall and spring) at one price, and a refund request occurs after the fall season has commenced and prior to the start of the spring season, the refund for the second season will be the remaining difference between a single season price and the price for two seasons for one.  (Current example: $70 [two for one price] - $50 [single season price] = $20 [spring season refund]).
  • Refunds will be processed and paid within thirty (30) days of approval.
