With nearly 6,500 players participating each Fall and Spring, Arlington Soccer’s Recreational program is the heart of our community. Designed for boys and girls from Kindergarten through High School, the program offers a fun, supportive introduction to soccer for players of all skill levels.

Players are placed on teams within one of our 12 neighborhood clubs, based on elementary school enrollment or geographic location—making it easy for kids to play with friends close to home. The program is open to everyone, regardless of experience or family income as we do offer Financial Aid.

Teams are coached by parents and other dedicated volunteers, creating a positive, educational environment through scheduled practices and games. Most importantly, equal playing time is guaranteed, so every child gets the chance to learn, grow, and enjoy the game.

Whether your child is new to soccer or already loves the sport, all players are welcome in the Arlington Soccer Recreational League.
