Our Programs

Soccer for every player. Find your pathway at NCW United FC.

Recreational Soccer Program

Fun, flexible, and age-appropriate soccer for all skill levels.

Our recreational program offers two formats: Rec Academy for U8 and under, and structured recreational teams for U10 and above.

Recreational Soccer
Rec Academy — U6 & U8

For our youngest players, it’s all about exploration, movement, and falling in love with the game.

  • Weekly Group Training: Players train together by age group, rotating through coach-led stations focused on movement, ball skills, and coordination.
  • Weekly Scrimmages: Teams are rebuilt each week for informal, low-stakes games that prioritize play, creativity, and sportsmanship.
  • Flexible Format: No fixed teams means no pressure—just consistent, joyful soccer in a welcoming environment.
Why Families Love It
  • Easy to join at any point in the season
  • Every player gets the ball at their feet and a coach in their corner
  • Built for kids who are brand new to the sport and kids who just want to play
Recreational Teams — U10 & Above

Structured teams, real games, and meaningful development—without the pressure of competitive soccer.

  • Weekly Training: Players practice with their team on a set day each week, with coach-led sessions focused on skill-building, tactical awareness, and teamwork.
  • Weekly Games: Teams play scheduled games against other clubs, offering a consistent competitive outlet in a fun, low-pressure setting.
  • Consistent Teammates: Players are placed on a team for the season to build relationships, chemistry, and belonging.
Why Families Love It
  • Real game experience with the structure kids are ready for
  • Coaches focused on development, not just results
  • A great fit for multi-sport athletes and players who want more than open play—without the full commitment of competitive soccer
What’s Included (All Rec Players)
  • Weekly training and game/scrimmage sessions
  • Two club jerseys
  • Age-appropriate curriculum focused on fun, fundamentals, and teamwork
  • A welcoming environment where every player can grow

Pathway Program: Rec+

Ready for more than just the standard rec season?

Rec+ is an optional add-on for players who want extra challenge and growth while staying in the recreational program. Rec+ bridges the gap between Rec and Competitive, giving motivated players a taste of advanced training and competitive play without the full-time commitment.

  • One weekly training session with our age-group competitive team, in addition to all regular Rec activities.
  • Access to more advanced coaching and faster-paced sessions.
  • Stay in the Rec program, but get a glimpse of competitive soccer.
  • Eligible to be invited to official competitive matches (no extra paperwork needed).
  • Perfect for families wanting to support motivated players while keeping soccer fun and flexible.

Rec+ is available as an option during registration. It’s the perfect bridge for players who want more challenge, more training time, or just a look at what competitive soccer is all about—while still enjoying all the benefits of our Rec model.
