Recreational Program (4 yrs - 18 yrs)

  Our Recreational soccer program offers opportunities to every player from the age of 4 years and older who want to gain experience in the game through team training and individual skill work. With over a 40 year heritage of promoting good sportsmanship and fostering the enjoyment of the game, KSC has a place for every player!

We have separate divisions for boys and girls starting at the U-8 division. Practices are held once or twice per week by parent coaches, and games are played on Saturdays.

Recreational Program FAQs

When will I hear from the Coach?

Players will be notified 1-2 weeks before the beginning of the season provided payment has been received for your child. Please put a home phone number or a number where there is an answering machine. This will make communications by the coach more efficient. 

Do I have to travel to Kirkwood to practice?

No! Kirkwood has teams and practice sites throughout New Castle County - Newark, Bear, New Castle, Wilmington, and  Middletown to name a few. We are not restricted to just the area surrounding the club.

When and where do we practice?

The Club does not dictate the time or location for practice. Coaches select a location and time once they have their roster.   The older teams only have 2 or 3 teams, so the location may not be close to everyone participating. Teams practice an average of twice weekly. All age brackets will play games on Saturdays. Older age groups (U12 and older) will play games in the Delaware Youth Soccer Association Interclub league with other soccer clubs on area fields.  

How are teams formed?

We try to have teams set up geographically with the intent of having practice closer to you, however we can't guarantee that we will have coaches in each area.
Requests for a specific coach cannot be guaranteed. Due to a large turnover of players from season to season, it is impossible to keep teams intact.
