2025 Summer Recreational Soccer

The purpose of the program is to facilitate the development of soccer skills, leadership and life skills. The objective is to provide a fun and rewarding playing experience, by facilitating positive learning environments and building intentional team cultures, that facilitate whole player development. This program extends beyond teaching soccer skills. It promotes players and coaches to adopt a growth mindset. UCYSA believes in the power of human potential. That players and coaches are not limited by their past experience. That everyone is capable of learning new skills and becoming the best version of them selves. That a positive attitude and consistent effort are the keys to success. And most importantly, that the game belongs to the players, and that youth sports should be a fun and rewarding experience.

- U7 Coed

Union County Youth Soccer Association is offering players in Kindergarten and 1st grade an opportunity to further their soccer skills in this developmental league. There will be no travel required for this league as it is not a competitive division. This program is designed to introduce kids in the required age field to the game of soccer and help further their basic skills. The objective of small-sided games is to make sure that players are getting more touches and decisions with the ball. This also simplifies the decision making process by having less players on the field. We encourage our coaches to create fun, but learning environment where players can be creative and make mistakes that they can learn from.
