The Recreational League is open to ages 4–18, regardless of ability. The intent is to maximize player enjoyment and promote player development through smaller-sided games, more contact with the ball and greater time on the field. The season consists of one practice and one game per week. Games are scheduled Friday night or Saturday on fields at Spotswood Elementary School or the Smithland Road Soccer Complex. Players are placed by age group on teams, with co-ed and girls-only options. SVU Recreational League is not a competitive league—no results are published, standings tabulated, or champions. Uniforms are provided, but the player must supply shin guards (mandatory) and cleats (optional, but recommended). Coaches are volunteers.
