Fall 2026
Our REC program is open to boys and girls in Kindergarten through 8th grade—no tryouts or experience needed. Each season includes one weekday practice and one Saturday game. Offered in fall (K–8), winter (K–6), and spring (K–8), the program focuses on skill development, teamwork, and fun.
Weekday clinics are led by Mickey Kydes Soccer (MKS) coaches, while Saturday games are coached by trained parent volunteers.
Westport Soccer is a volunteer-run organization and welcomes all families to get involved!

Volunteer Rec 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.
