The Red Wing Soccer Club offers Recreation (Rec) League Soccer during the fall and spring/summer seasons for players ages 5–8. Players are grouped by age into two divisions:

• Ages 5–6
• Ages 7–8

Our Rec program is designed to provide a fun, positive introduction to soccer while helping players build confidence, develop foundational skills, and foster a lifelong love of the game.

Each session includes a combination of age-appropriate games, skill-building activities, and small-sided soccer games, giving players plenty of opportunities to learn while having fun.  Soccer for 7/8 year olds typically meet twice a week for one-hour sessions.

Soccer for 5/6 year olds meet for one-hour sessions .

Equipment

Each registered player receives a club shirt to wear during the season and keep afterward.

Players should provide:

• Shin guards
• Athletic shoes or soccer cleats
• A size 3 soccer ball

While many soccer balls are available in larger sizes with fun designs, a size 3 ball is the appropriate choice for players in this age group and supports proper skill development. The club will also have additional soccer balls available for use during sessions.

Parent Volunteers

Our Recreation League is made possible by parent volunteers. Volunteer coaches receive lesson plans, activity guides, and video tutorials (when available) to help lead each session with confidence. No previous coaching or soccer experience is required.

As a thank you for volunteering, parent coaches who fulfill their volunteer commitment will receive a full refund of their child's registration fee at the conclusion of the season.
