Our Recreation Programs

Introductory Program for 3-5 year old players

Program Goal: To give players a fun introduction to the game of soccer. Our players take part in “circuit training,” which will require parent involvement. Practices are currently Monday from 5:30-6:30 p.m. with a scrimmage on Fridays 5:30-6:30 weekly. We will need parents involved to help offer guidance to the players at each “circuit.” Players will learn the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, shooting and trapping. Each practice will end with some 3v3 scrimmages so that players can apply the skills that they have learned. The registration fee of $100 includes 12 weeks of instruction (6 in the Fall and 6 in the Spring), a t-shirt, and all required Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association fees. 

Players need to provide soccer shoes, shin guards and a size 3 ball.

Preparatory Program for 6-year-old players

Program Goal: To help enhance the skills learned in the Tiny Tot program while gradually introducing the competitive aspect of the game. Players at this age group will continue to work on the core skills at every practice. In addition, we will start to introduce more of the “Laws of the Game.” Players will learn how to take proper throw-ins, corner kicks, and what fouls are. These things will be learned using the same “circuit training,” so parent involvement is still very important. Practices will once again be held one evening per week (currently practices are Mondays from 5:30-6:30 p.m.).

U7 non-travel recreation games are held Friday evenings at 5:30 p.m. at the East Troy Middle School. All games will follow a 4v4 format with NO goalkeepers. The registration fee of $100 includes 12 weeks of instruction (6 in the Fall and 6 in the Spring) and all required Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association fees.

Players need to provide soccer shoes, shin guards and a size 3 ball.

Developmental Program for 8U-15U players

Program Goal: 

In recreational soccer, our developmental program emphasizes fun and learning in an environment that fosters growth within the game. Teams are coached by parents, and our Director of Coaching is available at every step to offer training assistance throughout the year. The Fall season begins in late August and runs through October. The Spring season begins in early April and runs through late May. Each season includes 6-8 league games involving neighboring clubs. 

Team Formation:

At the U8 level team are single age (U8) and coed. Games follow a 4v4 format with no goal keeper. U8 teams practice one evening per week.

For U9 - U15 teams are gender specific. Sometimes numbers will force us to combine the age groups to form a team. Additionally, scenarios may exist that would cause us to form coed teams at these age levels. SC43 DOES NOT promise that teams will stay in tact from year to year! Teams will hold individual practice 2 times per week. 

With travel, both player and parent commitment levels increases. Practices offer the players the opportunity to get multiple touches on the ball, develop skills in a stress free, environment, participate in age appropriate drills, and gradually get introduced to Tactical Soccer.

SC43 and the Stateline Soccer District have a 50% playing rule for these age groups. Any player that is actively attending practices and games will play 50% of the game as long as he/she is healthy (not injured, e.g.). 

The registration fee includes a full uniform kit in addition to all staff coach, referee, league, administrative, equipment and field maintenance expenses.

U8 Players need to provide soccer shoes, shin guards and a size 3 ball.
