Youth Soccer

Parks Soccer - Come Join the Fun! 

Fayetteville Parks and Recreation has an AWESOME youth soccer program. This Good Sports! Recreational Program emphasizes an environment that is fun for all ages and skill levels. Every child is guaranteed to play at least half of each game, while learning the basics of soccer and good sportsmanship.  

For more information about this program, continue reading on this site, or email our staff.

Our recreational soccer program is for girls and boys ages three to sixteen. This program is part of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation’s GoodSports recreational programs where fun is emphasized! Registration will be accepted for the fall season only OR both the fall and spring seasons. A discount rate is given to encourage registration for the full year (both fall and spring seasons). The season begins with two or three practices, followed by playing two games per week. Any additional practices may be determined by the coach. All players registering with Fayetteville Parks and Recreation are randomly assigned to a team based on age. Volunteer coaches are screened and trained by Parks and Recreation. Players who sign up for both the fall and spring season will remain on the same team for both seasons.
