Soccer Programs
In-house Soccer LeagueThe RSC Skills Soccer League is designed for players ages 3-10 who want to learn proper soccer techniques or sharpen soccer skills in a fun-based atmosphere.
The Skills League runs two programs in Spring and Fall for 8- weeks.
Players practice are two-days a week with games on Saturdays.
3-4 year olds practice 1 day a week and the program runs approximately 6 weeks.
In an effort to emphasize skill development in the younger age groups and encourage participation of all children interested in the game, getting as much playing time during practice or the games is desired.
Primary attention is given to the individual skill improvement and the dynamics of team play.
To reinforce this approach, team standings are not maintained in the In-House Soccer League.
Recreational Competitive
Teams These teams are designed for players grades 3-12 who want to experience more competitive soccer.

Coaching Philosophy

The club strongly encourages parents and others who have a desire to coach or have coached before to become a certified coach.
The Club reimburses those who complete their WYSA coach certification, which is offered at various levels.
Assistant Coaching is volunteer-based and offers a great introduction to coaching with no licensing required.
Recognizing that the proper training of younger players is critical, RSC has created the position of Skills Coaching Director to ensure that there is appropriate and adequate coaching staff to support our In- House Program.
The Club President currently acts as the coordinator for our Competitive Teams.
As a member of MAYSA, the Club follows the recommended development guidelines as set forth in MAYSA Age Group Curriculum.
