Recreational Programs

Recreational soccer programs provide players of all ages and skill levels an opportunity to enjoy the sport in a supportive, fun environment. These programs typically focus on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship rather than intense competition. Our community-based leagues offer seasonal play, training sessions, and structured games designed to keep participants engaged while learning the fundamentals of soccer. Whether for youth, adults, or families, recreational soccer serves as an excellent way to stay active, connect with others, and foster a lifelong love for the game.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PATH

North United is committed to creating a development path for lifelong soccer players in the North Metro. Our model focuses on development of all players, at every competitive level, with a proven model that works for all players and families.

CR United Rec

The purpose of rec soccer is to provide an opportunity for players to have fun, without as much emphasis on advanced tactical or technical instruction and wins. It's a chance to learn the sport and develop life skills including a lifelong love of the game.

Northern Lights Rec

Recreational soccer provides an opportunity for kids to be involved in an organized soccer program in a non-competitive environment. At NLSC we offer soccer for youth ages PreK though Grade 10. Our coaching staff for the recreational program consists of volunteer parents/relatives. Programs are available year-round. Please visit the links to the left or on the photos above for seasonal program details.

NLSC recreational program is a non-competitive developmental soccer league. This means we are a NO score, NO standings league. All players will play about the same amount of time in each game as well as have the opportunity to play at each position. NLSC uses small-sided games to give players more opportunities to touch the ball. A parent's guide to recreation soccer is available here.

We are always in need of volunteers for coaches, assistant coaches, and team parents. Partial registration reimbursements are available for our coaching volunteers.

Our Goal- All Children Play!

We understand financial strain occurs, whether temporary or ongoing, and it can be difficult to fund children's sports. This can be especially stressful with multiple children wanting to play. Our association and club have programs available to help. Please contact us for more information.

Andover SC

Starting in 2024, Andover SC will serve as a recreational option for families in the Andover/Ham Lake area.

We are excited to partner with the community!
