Transylvania Youth Soccer Association

With an emphasis on fun and participation, our recreational division is the entry point for children who are new to the game. In recreation, fun games are used to develop basic skills, such as ball control and dribbling, and to further players' enjoyment of the game. Recreational Soccer is coached by volunteers who are equipped and supported by the organization and will receive communications from the program director with important information and weekly practice sessions throughout the season. Our coaches use a curriculum made up of fun and developmentally appropriate practice activities. Fall season runs from mid-september to early november and our spring season runs from early march to mid-may. There were 500 participants in the recreational league during fiscal year 2022-23.
