U5-U18 RECREATION
SVU Recreational Program exists for the dual purposes of enabling children in the local community to enjoy a healthy and safe, organized physical activity, and to obtain at least a modest soccer education.

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. SVU recreation program is not a competitive league. No results are published, no standings are tabulated, no champions are crowned.

SEASON
SVU host two recreational soccer seasons:

• Fall: September through November
