Whitewater United FC

What does a soccer season like?

A: Registration is held in June and teams are formed mid-summer. Those teams will play together in the fall 2024 and spring 2025. Practices generally start around mid-August, with games scheduled for 7 weeks in the fall (approximately September and October) and 7 weeks in the spring (approximately mid-April to the first week in June). Focus is on fun, good sportsmanship, teamwork and skill development for all.

​

Are there any additional expenses?

A: Your child will need to purchase their own shin guards, soccer shoes and soccer ball. Also, some traveling teams (U9 and older) may choose to participate in tournaments, which may add additional cost (around $15-$20 per player).
