The CiTY REC Soccer Program provides a fun, positive, and creative learning environment for youth soccer players of all skill levels that focuses on the values of teamwork, humility, respect, and sportsmanship. Our program creates an exciting and fun experience where players can learn the game and develop a passion for soccer for many years to come. Registration fee includes uniform.
