Our soccer program includes youth from 3 years to 18 years old.  You'll find information about each of the age group programs below.  Our younger ages are run in-house; older ages participate in SAY Soccer Leagues with nearby communities.  All practices are at fields within the Loveland School District.

 Kickers 

• Birthyear 2007 and 2008

• Focus is on team soccer, ball possession, attacking and defending strategies.  
• Games on weekends and a few during the week; play other communities; 11v11 format (full field)

Minors (2005 and 2006) and Seniors (2003 and 2004) are our oldest age groups.  They offer players in high school an opportunity to continue to play locally with friends in a fun, competitive environment.  Often find players who have left club soccer for a more relaxed playing atmosphere or players who didn't make a high school team and want to continue to play at a recreational level. Play against teams from other communities in 8v8 format on a less than full sized field.  We play 8v8 because many community programs don't have enough players for full 11v11 soccer.
