Recreational Program Information

                

The Recreational Soccer Program sponsored by Mariner Youth Soccer is for children, boys and girls, Pre K – 8th grade and is an ideal and vibrant entry point for players to be introduced to the sport, play with friends, and participate on a team. Rec soccer is open to all players and is primarily devoted to the enjoyment and development of the beautiful game. No tryouts are required to join a team. 

Rec Soccer is an "in town" league where all games are played against other MYS rec soccer teams of similar grades. Our philosophy is to provide a positive environment for the development and enjoyment of soccer for our area youth to have fun and learn about the fundamentals in a non-threatening environment.

The goal of MYS’s Recreation Soccer League is to give each player the opportunity to develop a solid foundation of soccer skills while playing in a fun environment. In the Fall and Spring seasons children are placed on teams by age group.
