House League Soccer provides players with opportunity to play for enjoyment, participation, to make friends and to develop a healthy life style. House League is the perfect program for those who have never played or just enjoy getting out to have fun! The emphasis in practices is soccer skills. Each week there is a practice at 6:00 pm and a game at 6:30 pm.
Our recreational division season is 12 weeks long, starts the end of May, and runs until August. The development program is for players who are interested in the next level of soccer. These teams have 1-2 dedicated practice nights as well as a game night. Teams play in the DSL (Durham Soccer League) and have a 50/50 split of home and way games.
