RECREATIONAL SOCCER PROGRAM


Our intramural REC program is for boys & girls in Kindergarten thru 8th grade.  No tryouts necessary. The purpose of recreational soccer is for the players to learn the sport,develop life skills and discover a love for the game in a fun environment. There is a FALL (K-8) , WINTER (K-6 only) and SPRING (K-8) program available. Weekday clinics are run by Mickey Kydes Soccer (MKS) professional coaches.  Saturday games are coached by volunteer parents who must complete coach training and safety certifications.  No prior soccer experience is necessary for players or volunteer coaches. Westport Soccer is a volunteer-run organization that encourages all players and parents to join the fun!

VOLUNTEER COACHES

PARENT VOLUNTEER COACHES NEEDED!
Parent coaches are vital to our Rec program. It's a great way to get involved and have a lot of fun with the kids. Coaches are assigned to their child's team & only needed for Saturday games and weekly communication to their team parents.  Include a co-coach preference in your volunteer registration if you'd like. No experience is necessary, however, online training and safety certifications are required.
