Practices for the U12 Co-Rec Division will be held 1x per week during the season. The Parent Volunteer Coach decides the practice day and time, and also makes the decision on a practice location in Bexley. Teams will be informed approximately one month before the season begins about the day, time, and location of practices. Home games will be held at The Fields at Easton. (4475 Sunbury Rd. Columbus, OH 43219).
The purpose of our recreational soccer programs is for players to learn the game and have fun doing it. The curriculum is developmental by design and focuses on individual skills development and on team tactics. The soccer year runs from August 1st through July 31st and is comprised of two season: Fall and Spring. Players may choose to play during either one or both seasons. Each season runs for eight weeks. The Fall Season typically begins the week after Labor Day and runs through the month of October. The Spring Season typically begins the first week in April and runs through the month of May. No games are scheduled for Labor Day or Memorial Day weekends.
