![]() Club teams typically play league games on Saturdays with games
being within an hours drive of the Sacramento area. Obviously, there
are exceptions to this such as home games, tournaments, etc. Teams are
matched by age group and ability level via an annual "seeding"
tournament. Club teams play rain or shine. For more information or to get signed up for Club Soccer, visit their website at www.goldcountryunited.com Recreational Soccer Rec
soccer accounts for over 75% of the teams and players in our league.
The ability levels are typically from beginners to those who are more
experienced and developing their skills. Recreation soccer teams are
matched up by age groups (2 yr. brackets) and then by overall team
ability level via the annual "seeding" tournament, making the season
fair and fun for everyone.
Other Differences Unlike
club soccer, there are no try-outs. Instead, children get placed on
teams based on several factors (area where you live, "friend/coach"
requests, etc..). Your child's coach will typically hold practices two
days a week in the afternoons - this will vary by team/coach. Once the
season starts, games will be played locally within western Nevada County
on Saturday mornings. Your child is guaranteed to play in each and
every game they are eligible.
Another key difference between Recreational and Club soccer -
Recreational games can/will get cancelled due to inclement weather, rain
or unsafe playing conditions.
