Recreation questions
Can my player start now?
Recreation runs in two 8-week seasons, so the next Recreation intake is the spring. You do not have to wait to start playing, though. Send us your player's details and we start on a plan to work them in as soon as possible: ETA runs every Friday and camps run every school break, both open now, and a director can arrange a look for Juniors or Classic at any time. You also get the registration link the day the next Recreation season opens.
What equipment does my player need?
A soccer ball (size 3 for U6/U8, size 4 for U10/U12, size 5 for U14–U19), shin guards, cleats and a water bottle. The uniform kit is included with registration.
What if my player wants more than one practice a week?
Add the Elite Technique Academy ($100 a month, Fridays 5:30–6:30 pm at Phillips Park, first session free), or explore Juniors (U7–U10): two licensed coaching sessions a week and local games for $950 a year.
Who coaches Recreation?
Volunteer parent coaches guided by the club curriculum, supported by club staff. Carolina Core FC professional players have helped coach Recreation sessions.
