Competitive, Fun, Local
Recreational Select is a program designed for players interested in a fun and competitive soccer program with less cost, travel and commitment than club soccer.
Passionate Volunteer Parent Coaches
Practices are typically held at a local school twice per week. Soccer is a team sport and players are expected to attend and participate in each practice. This is where the learning takes place. Games are for applying what players have learned.
The purpose of the FCYSL is to encourage, to promote and to foster the growth of and appreciation for the game of soccer by providing opportunities for the youth of member programs to participate in organized soccer.
FCYSL is affiliated with MSYSA, USYSA, USSF and FIFA.
Home games are played at Windsor Knolls MS, Oakdale ES, LOUYAA Park, Oakdale MS and Old National Pike Park #4. Away games very across Frederick County, depending on the home team’s game field.

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.
