General Information - Youth Soccer

Thank you for your interest in the Towsontowne Youth Soccer Program.  Towsontowne Soccer is a volunteer organization that coordinates participation by approximately 700 youth in recreational and travel soccer play, primarily in the fall season.  Players between the ages of 4-14 participate in practice and game sessions starting in mid-August and running through mid-November.

Towsontowne Soccer seeks to establish and maintain a play environment where players find joy through participation in sport, where practices and games are fun, and where player effort and development is valued, acknowledged and encouraged.

An exclusively volunteer organization, Towsontowne Soccer encourages volunteer participation and welcomes those willing to volunteer time as coaches, as coordinators and in other capacities.  If you are able to commit time to the program, please email the the Program Chairman, John Ward at jbward@fgow.com .

In-House Program:  Towsontowne Recreation Council offers soccer for interested youths between the ages of 4 and 13.  The In-House Program emphasizes, particularly for younger children, small-sided games providing players with maximum opportunity to handle the ball, build skills, and experience the fun of recreational soccer.  The Program welcomes players of all skill levels and includes the following groupings:  Academy IV (co-ed); Clinic 5 (co-ed); Under 8 (boys & girls); Under 10 (boys & girls); Under 12 (boys & girls); and under 14 (boys & girls).  The Program will commence in late August, will run through mid November, and will include both instruction and games.  The Academy IV group (4-year olds as of August 1, 2011) and Clinic 5 group (5-year olds as of August 1, 2011) will meet once per week on Saturdays.  The other age groups will meet twice per week, typically, once on Saturdays and once during the week. 
Age determination date is August 1st   2011.

Travel Team Program:  Towsontowne Soccer sponsors travel teams at most levels (U8 through U14) for both boys and girls.  The travel program is designed for more skilled soccer players.  The travel teams provide an opportunity to play at a more competitive level while continuing to emphasize player development.  Historically, Towsontowne's teams have been highly successful, winning many league and tournament championships, and producing strong players who demonstrate excellent sportsmanship.  Try-outs are held in May/June, with play typically beginning in late August.  All interested players are encouraged to try out.  Please indicate your child’s interest in this program by marking the appropriate box when registering your child. The appropriate coach will contact you.  For additional information concerning the travel program, please contact Towsontowne Soccer Program Director, John Ward at jbward@fgow.com
