The Alma Soccer Club was established in 2020, becoming an extension of the Alma School District youth sports umbrella.

The primary goal of the Alma Soccer Club is to provide a developmental soccer experience for our youth from Pre-K (age 4+) up through 8th grade as these players prepare to play soccer for Alma High School through recreational and competitive travel soccer offerings.

We offer recreational and travel soccer programs at Alma Soccer Club. Our Spring 2023 offerings are below:

• 2023 Spring Recreational Soccer for ages 4+ (Grades Pre-K through 6th grade)
  
• U14 Boys and U14 Girls teams for players in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade; these are feeder programs for our high school soccer teams.
• U10 and U12 Competitive Travel soccer teams, which are for more developed/advanced players.

Recreational Soccer

• Recreational introduces soccer to players from Pre-K through 6th grade.
• This is a great introductory experience for soccer that develops fundamental soccer skills.
• The cost is $30 and includes a jersey.
  
• Parents/players are required to supply their own soccer cleats, shin-guards, black shorts, black socks, and an age-appropriate soccer ball (size 3 for K/Pre K, size 4 for grades 1st-6th)
  
• Games are scheduled for Saturdays at Airedale Stadium on the Alma High School Campus.

U14 Boys and U14 Girls Teams

• The ultimate goal of the U14 teams is a feeder program to prepare these boys and girls for high school soccer tryouts.
  
• This division will have home and away games vs. schools in our age/grade division in the River Valley and in Northwest Arkansas.
  
• While there are no tryouts for U14, practice and development are similar to that of the competitive teams.
• Players are expected to attend all practices and will be pushed to advance in their abilities.
• There is no "half of game" expectation of playing time in U14 soccer.
• The cost is $50 and includes a full uniform kit--jersey, shorts, and socks.
• U14 players are expected to bring their own size 5 ball to practice.

U10 and U12 Competitive Travel Teams

• This division for more advanced / skilled players, or for those seeking more developmental opportunities and to compete against other towns/teams/clubs at a higher level of play.
  
• Our competitive travel division is tryout-based. Players must attend the tryout to be able to make the team.
• The cost is $50--this includes the full uniform kit-jersey, shorts,  and socks.
  
• Parents/players are required to provide shin guards and a size 4 ball for this division for their player(s). 
  
• Players who tryout but do not make the travel team will be placed on a Spring Recreational team in the appropriate grade division.
