Fall Recreation 2026
Fall Program 2026
We are changing our age groups to match what US Soccer has done and will follow a August 1st thru July 31st calendar. Our 2026 Fall Recreation Program is open to all boys and girls born between 08/1/2012 and 7/31/2023 (regardless if you live in Lawrence or not).
Our Friday Night Red Bull Training is now being changed to be Monday thru Friday in order to make the trainer to player ratio smaller and get better instruction. Our NY Red Bull trainers will be training kids with drills and playing small sided games to evolve their skills. This is still OPTIONAL to attend.
Younger than Middle School Aged Boys and Girls
Saturday Games - All games take place on Saturday mornings at the Armory fields off Eggerts Crossing Road or across the street behind Lawrence Intermediate School, beginning in early April through early June. Our focus will be on skill development. Younger age groups will continue to use the "Play Train Play" methodology where they play a 3v3 game, then a training session and followed by another 3v3 game. For our older kids, we will have just games. We need parent/volunteer assistant coaches for ALL ages to help keep things rolling.
Middle School Aged Boys and Girls (6th, 7th and 8th grade)
We will be teaming up with Hopewell again this season for our middle school aged boys teams for both boys and girls. Games will be played on Saturday's or Sunday's (TBD, still working out the times but mid day) this season either in Lawrence or at Hopewell (games in Hopewell are usually on the border of Lawrence).
This year we will may limit the number of registrations depending on the volume of kids in each age group as well as the number of volunteers. It will be a first come, first serve basis. If you do go to the wait list, do not worry, I will open up more spots, I am just looking to ensure we have balance amongst the age groups.
