Recreational Program - FC Westlake

Rec program 3-12 yrs

We aim to introduce soccer to more players and families through an organized, enjoyable, and safe experience with our Recreational Soccer Program! Our program enables us to provide players with the first step on their soccer journey whilst playing in a less competitive environment.

The Recreational Program is an in-house program run by the Recreational Director at FC Westlake. Teams are coached at practice and game day by volunteer coaches. We provide education and field support to all coaches- this gives them the framework to deliver coaching that grows players skills who are on their soccer journey!

The program is split into a Fall and Spring registration. Players will receive a uniform package included in the cost.

We can accommodate groups of friends and assign them to teams together along with individual registrations. All of the teams are formed based on gender, grade level, and school/district.
