SCAA strives to provide a supportive soccer environment that promotes healthy competition, good sportsmanship and a sense of community for each child. As a recreation program our focus is on growing the love of the sport through development and fun for all skill levels.
Practice and game times: Practice days and times are up to the coaches discretion. Normally practice will be 1 or 2 days a week depending on the age group. Practice times start between 6:00 PM and 7PM and last from 1 to 1.5 hours.
Unfortunately, we have to take advantage of every shred of field space available to us and practice may coincide with other teams.
We try to prioritize the younger kids earlier, but due to field constraints and/or Coach availability these later sessions do occur.
Volunteers: We are a fully volunteer run league. Please consider sharing your time and volunteering this season. We always have a need for coaches, no experience necessary! We provide a coaches clinic, training materials and equipment! Follow the volunteer link on your account home page to sign up. If you have any questions, please let us know!
*The number of coaches does have an impact on our team set up.
