U6 & U8
Intramural
We offer intramural play to teach the foundational skills of the game and participate in small-sided games that allow players to maximize their touches on the ball and encourage continued player development.
The intramural program is soccer for children ages 5-8. At this level of play, teams practice 1 time per week, and games are held at Logan Park on Sunday afternoons. Teams participate in a tournament at the end of the spring season. The goal of this program is to introduce soccer skills and team play in a supportive and non-competitive setting. The emphasis is on having fun and building confidence in the game of soccer.
The youngest level of intramural is U6 (or under the age of 6) and is coed play where the kids play on a small
size field in a 4v4 format.
The next level up of intramural is U8 (or under the age of 8) and is broken up with boys and girls playing in their
own respective divisions.
In both levels of play, score is not kept or recorded and there are no goalies.
U10 - U16
Recreational
The recreational program is offered for players ages 8 to 13. This program is not coed, and involves light travel. All skill levels are invited to participate. Teams in this program practice 1-2 times per week, and play games either Saturday or Sunday. Some of the games will be held at a home field in Manheim, and there will be some travel to neighboring towns. The goal of this program is to continue to encourage individual and team skills in a lightly competitive environment.
Recreational Girls teams play in the Lancaster Area Girls Soccer League (LAGS for short). The teams play in 6v6, 8v8, or at the older U12 level 11v11 formats.
Recreational Boys teams play in the Lancaster County Boys Youth Soccer Association (LBYSA for short). The teams play in 6v6 or 8v8 formats.

U9 - U19
Travel
The Travel Program is offered for players ages 8 and up. Players must try-out for this more competitive program. Tryouts are held in the spring to place players on a team for the fall and spring season. This program is not coed, and players can expect to travel to other soccer clubs in the area. Teams in the program practice 2 times per week, and play games either Saturday or Sunday. This program is more competitive and serves to further improve individual and team skills and confidence.
Most of our travel teams play in the Lanco Soccer League. Some also play in the Central Pennsylvania Youth Soccer League (CPYSL).
