Registration:
When you register to play Recreational soccer with Arkansas United, you will be asked if you have a coach request or player request. This is the first piece of information we look at when forming teams each season. If you do not know a coach or player, we will work to get your player on a team with other players from their school.
Registration fees U5-U8 - $125** (includes uniform costs, field maintenance fees, and training fees)
Registration fees U9-U18 - $160** in fall, $135 in the spring for returning United players from the fall season (includes uniform costs, field maintenance fees, training fees, and referee fees)
Team Formations and Training:
Once registration has closed we will start forming teams. After being formed, the rosters will be given to the coach of the team, so they can contact all the players and parents. You should hear from your coach within a few days after the recreational coaches meetings. These meetings are where we will schedule team and skills training times. We will not know when a certain team or age group practices, until after the coaches meetings.
Game Schedules:
For our In House teams ages U5-U8, we schedule all the games. These game schedules will be created after we get the teams and rosters set. When completed, schedules will posted on the website and all registrants and coaches will be notified.
For L2 teams ages U9-U18, games will be scheduled through the Arkansas State Soccer Association. Teams will play in the Central Arkansas Soccer League (CASL) and games will be scheduled at the state scheduling meeting each season. Once this meeting has been held, and coaches confirm their games, they should notify their players and parents of the schedule for the season.
