๐Ÿ™ˆ YOUโ€™RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE GOOD!

๐Ÿค MEET NEW BEGINNER FRIENDS

๐Ÿ™Œ GET EXERCISE & LEARN SOCCER

Join us for friendly, organized, newbie-oriented, Coach-led soccer on premium intown turf fields. Sign up on your own as an Individual, and invite a friend to play together if you'd like. View all Beginners Only seasons ยป

WHO IS BEGINNERS ONLY FOR?

- People who have never played soccer before
- People who have tried soccer but only briefly or a long time ago
- People who want to get exercise and learn a new sport
- Anyone who wants to make new friends

๐Ÿ˜‡ We designed our Beginners Only program specifically for folks new to the game, with very little experience, or who might otherwise feel nervous to try. You are literally not allowed to be good (if you accidentally are, we'll recommend a better league fit and transfer your registration). You're guaranteed to be amongst others just as inexperienced, and we bet you'll meet nice people too.

*Schedule Note: Locations and times for each week's sessions may vary, and will be assigned based on current field availability. If you can't make some weeks, no worries - we email practice session recaps to everyone.

*Teams Note: We cannot always accommodate small group requests of more than 3 or 4 players on the same team.

๐Ÿฅฒ This is a strict no-judgment, no-embarrassment zone for people who want to learn the game and build their confidence, and we will ensure it remains that way! Beginners Only is about supporting and encouraging fellow players, not winning.

โœ… We highly recommend starting with Level 1! Players with a little experience but who are not good may start in Level 3 if they're already familiar with the fundamentals of soccer.

๐Ÿฃ LEVELS 1 & 2

Levels 1 & 2 are an introduction to the rules and fundamentals of soccer. Each level includes 55-minute Coach-led practices over 8 weeks, with a combination of warmups, skills & drills, strategy, and short scrimmages. These are designed to be completed over back-to-back seasons, and are a requirement for all players who've never played before.

๐Ÿค LEVEL 3

Level 3 builds on the fundamentals and skills acquired in Levels 1 & 2, adding longer scrimmage play. Includes 55-minute Coach-led practices and longer scrimmages, alternating weekly. Scrimmages will be low stakes, without goalkeepers (we use waist-height goals).

๐Ÿฅ POST-GRADUATION

For graduating Beginners looking to take the next step and play games every week, we now offer a โ€œprotectedโ€ bottom division of our Thursday Coed league, only available to teams who have graduated from Beginners Only and those playing at the lowest possible skill level! This division features an identical game experience to other league divisions, including regular goals, goalkeepers, standings, and referees.

- 8 Weeks of Coaching Sessions
- 55 Mins Per Week
- Premium Artificial Grass Turf Fields
- Stadium Lighting for Night Sessions
