This program is designed for U8-U18 players who possess a basic understanding of soccer skills and the rules of the game. The program offers the players the opportunity to experience competitive play while ensuring they have an enjoyable time.
Training sessions are typically conducted at a local school twice weekly. Soccer is a team sport, and players are expected to attend and actively participate in each practice session, as this is where skill development occurs. Games serve as opportunities to apply the knowledge gained during practices. Players will continue to enhance their soccer skills and physical fitness under the guidance of our professional trainers, once per week.
Teams will compete in the United Recreational Soccer League of Maryland (URSL-MD), a recreational league that requires travel to away games. Teams are formed in odd years (U9, U12, U14, and U18) based on school years. In URSL-MD, teams are categorized by boys, girls, and co-ed groups. Home games are played at Oakdale Middle School, Deer Crossing Elementary School, LOUYAA Park, and ONP. Away games are held at various locations across Frederick County, depending on the home team's designated field. Matches are scheduled for Saturdays, with occasional Sunday games.
All new players must purchase a uniform package. (If you ordered an Under Armour Uniform for the Fall 2023, Spring 2024, Fall 2024, or Spring 2025 season, you do not need to order one for Fall 2025)

SMALL-SIDED GAMES CHART
Small-sided standards are youth games played with less than 11 players on each team. Playing with less players on the field means that players are constantly involved in play and provided with more opportunities for touches on the ball and overall player development. Not only are there fewer players, but small-sided games also use smaller fields, goals and balls, shorter game times and some different rules to optimize the game for younger players.
