Recreational Teams, Playing Formats, Rules

Picture
Greenbelt SA supports recreational teams in both spring and fall. Information on our selected teams is here. Up to grade 6, recreational teams play in the small-sided program offered by Prince Georges Soccer, Inc. and older teams play in the Takoma league. Practice schedules depend on coaches schedules. Both game and practice schedules are here. We are always looking for more coaches to volunteer. Here are the incentives that we offer to coaches.
