REC & SDA NEWS

Winter II Registration


While it may be cold outside, registration for our winter programs is on fire! If you have not yet signed up for our recreational programs for Winter Session II, please do so as soon as possible to ensure that your player can join us for session two. (Availability varies by age group.)

Sign up for Spring


It's hard to believe, but it's time to think Spring! Spring registration is going on now for all RSC programs, including Thunders, Micros, U6-U19, SDA, Technical Training, and TOPSoccer. Visit rscsoccer.org for more details about all our programs. Please note: Early bird for U6-U19 ends 2/22.

Refer a Friend to U6 or Micros


Refer a friend who has never played RSC soccer before and receive a discount off your spring registration! Eligible participants must be registered for the Micros or U6 Spring Season.


While completing registration, add names of friends you are referring to RSC. Office staff will verify eligibility by confirming that the referred friends are registered and participating. You will receive a $20 discount (Micros) or $30 discount (U6) per friend referred (up to the cost of the program). New players can also take advantage of the Refer-A-Friend program! Please note: Team formation is based on our placement policy, not referrals.


Mark your calendars!


Summer camp registration opens February 9! Keep your kids engaged while developing soccer skills this summer. Our camps provide a fun environment for players to learn new soccer skills, play games, make friends, and be kids.


NEW THIS YEAR! We are adding two new, four-day camps to our summer line-up: SDA Camp and U13-14 Camp. Visit our website for more details!
