Monticello Soccer Club Recreational League Program Description

The Monticello Soccer Club (MSC) was established in the spring of 1995 by a group of parents interested in providing boys and girls with the opportunity to play soccer. MSC is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline and physical skills through soccer. A major goal of the club’s recreational league program is to provide all kids with the opportunity to play soccer at a fun and recreational level. Participation in MSC's programs has grown from 260 participants in 1995 to over 700 in 2002; this includes our recreational and traveling leagues. There are bylaws and a Board to direct and manage club activities. All staff are hardworking volunteers and all fees go directly toward club activities.

Modifications: Small-sided game modifications are made for the recreational program. The size of the playing field, players per side, size of ball and the goal is reduced in size to match the size of the players. Small-sided games are favored for the following reasons:

1. Skill development is enhanced because of frequent contact on the ball.

2. Fast acting fun with more actual playing time and real game action.

3. Excitement is promoted by less time to achieve or advance the ball towards the goal.

4. Exercise is critical since players play both offense and defense.

5. The available field space is better maximized to serve all youth.

Coaching: We depend on our volunteer coaches. If you are willing to coach your child’s team you will receive a refund of one registration fee at the end of the soccer season (fall). We have training opportunities and information available to our coaches.

Practice Times: Practices will always take place on either a Tuesday or a Thursday from 5:45pm to 6:45pm (see sign up form for preference if needed). Families may request same day practices when having multiple children in the program. Practice times may vary depending on team/coaching needs, please check with your child's volunteer coach for more information

Game Times: All games are on Saturdays at either at 9:00am or 10:30am.
Grade/Gender Divisions: Divisions are set by current school year grade level, not age.

Seasons: The Recreational League seasons run Spring-Fall, with the spring session starting the first week in April, and fall session continuing the first week in Sept. Teams are selected prior to spring session, and teams stay together through the fall session. The season concludes with a fall Jamboree, which is held the last Saturday of the season.

The Jamboree: provides multiple games per team, and all participants will receive medals. The Jamboree has available concession, & apparel sales, as well as, sign up information for the next recreational league season.

Cost: The recreational league costs $60.00usd for the entire season. Partial season, spring or fall, cost is also $60.00usd. The club does from time to time may offer early registration discounts, please refer to registration documentation for more information
