The Recreational Program is a soccer program for all youth players and is designed for beginners and youths interested in playing soccer in a less competitive environment. Basic soccer skills are taught and reinforced. United Futbol Academy supports US Youth Soccer’s teaching philosophy with respect to small-sided soccer in U5, U6, U7, U8, U10 and U12. This philosophy allows the game to be the teacher by maximizing each player’s touches on the ball and encourages all the players to develop their skills in all positions. Further, the philosophy discourages intense competition until the older age groups. 2023-2024 AGE GROUP CHART (BIRTH YEAR) - CLICK HERE

Our Recreational Program currently consists of players from the age of 2 through the age of 18. Please take note that there is no skill level requirement at any age, i.e., we will have children of all levels participating on each team in our program. We have developed a system that provides both a fun and productive environment for players at all levels. Although our focus is predominantly on the enjoyment of playing the game, we would also like to utilize our time effectively with the children by teaching them as much as possible about the game and the skills needed to excel in the sport.

Both the U3 Kick Start and U4 Mini League are FUN introductory programs that are success-based and designed to develop a player’s confidence and a life-long love of the game of soccer. They are run as a parent/child clinic format.  We will have a Central Trainer assisted by the parent/s of each player.  We will work on soccer skills each week through a variety of games and age appropriate activities. There are no set teams.

The participation fee per season is $116 which includes a t-shirt per seasonal year (both fall and spring seasons = one seasonal year).  i.e. - If you participated in the fall Mini League, you will not receive a new t-shirt in the spring.  

U5 - U19 Recreational League

Each U5-U19 team requires a volunteer parent coach, however we provide a UFA staff trainer who works with the U5 - U12 age groups once a week.  Although our focus is predominantly on the enjoyment of playing the game, we would also like to utilize our time effectively with the children by teaching them as much as possible about the game and the skills needed to excel in the sport. 

  • Youth ages 4-18 (U5 - U19)
  • Seasons offered - fall and spring
  • NO tryouts and NO skill level requirements!
