RECREATIONAL SOCCER

Fun, inclusive soccer for players of all levels – Grades Pre-K through 4.

REGISTRATION FOR FALL 2026 OPENS AUGUST 15

Sharon Soccer Association's rec program offers a fun, inclusive environment where kids of all skill levels can learn and enjoy the game.

Players are grouped by age to ensure developmentally appropriate play and a positive experience for all with volunteer parent coaches supported by our Director of Coaching.

The rec program brings small groups together for modified scrimmage and game play during 60-minute sessions held on Saturdays at Gavins Pond Fields.

The program runs in two seasons each year—Fall and Spring—giving kids multiple opportunities to grow their skills, make friends, and have fun on the field.
