West Hartford Youth Soccer Association

The recreational Soccer program has four age divisions - training, mites, juniors and seniors. The ages of the players in the recreational program range from 6 to 14. The expenses for the recreational players are Soccer uniforms, Soccer equipment, referees and other Soccer related expenses. The coaches in the recreational program are all volunteers. On average, approximately one thousand kids play in the fall season. Generally there are 50% less players in the spring due to a limited number of fields available in the town which are shared by other spring sports. Program fees are paid by the parents of the players. The fees are used by league to cover its costs.

The West Hartford boys travel program ranges from age 8 to 16. The travel program expenses are coaches, referees, uniforms, equipment and other Soccer related expenses. The travel teams generally play in the fall and spring. Program fees for the players of each team are calculated by the manager of each team so as to cover the cost of the teams. The parents of the players pay the assessed fees - although adjustments are made for famillies that need financial assistance.
