Recreational 6U – 15U

Recreational Soccer is the foundation of our club! Savannah United’s Recreational Soccer Program is the largest and most highly rated recreational soccer program in Chatham County because of the effort and attention we and our volunteer coaches give to every player. Recreational soccer marks the first playing experience for many children, which is why it is known as the grassroots of the club.

The Recreational Program is designed to create a fun filled, organized playing environment for players of ALL skill levels with ALL volunteer coaches. It is a place for players to be able to play with friends while experiencing the joys of playing in this beautiful game.

No Try-Outs are required!

The program runs 8-10 weeks. Practices are once per week and games are every Saturday (7-8 games per season).

 

To get started and register for the Recreational Program:

  • Create a free Savannah United account by clicking “LOG IN” at the top right of our web page.
  • Register your player
  • Choose “2024 Fall Recreational Soccer” under “Programs Available”
  • After completing registration, you will receive a confirmation email that contains the links to order a new uniform kit (if you have not already ordered one previously)

 

Coaches:

The coaches with our Recreational Program are volunteers. All our volunteer coaches complete a background check and require a SafeSport screening. We encourage members of our players’ families to consider volunteering. Volunteering as a Coach is a fantastic way to spend time with and make a positive difference in the players’ lives!

 

Team Formation:

Team formation is based on practice day (Mon, Tues, Wed, or Thurs) and location (Savannah or Wilmington Island). All requests are considered on a first come, first serve basis. Teammate/coach requests are always considered, but not guaranteed.

 

Game Schedule:

Game Schedule for the season will be released 1 to 2 weeks prior to the start of the season.
