WHAT IS...

RECREATIONAL SOCCER?

Recreational soccer is our in-house soccer program that is primarily devoted to the enjoyment and development of soccer players without the emphasis on travel or high-level competition. The purpose of recreational soccer is to provide an opportunity for the participants to have fun, learn basics of the sport, and develop life skills while forming a love of the game.

RECREATIONAL PLAYER?

A player who is assigned to a team with other atheletes their age without regard to his/her abilities and skills.

RECREATIONAL TEAM?

A community-based team led by a volunteer coach focusing on fun, fitness, and inclusivity rather than intense competition.

RECREATIONAL LEAGUE?

A friendly league consisting of matches played weekly versus other Gunston SC teams. All games will take place at Grist Mill Park or MVHS.
