Recreational (Rec) and Recreational Plus (Rec Plus) are the largest divisions of Mustang Soccer League with 65% of all players participating at this level of play.  

 

• There are no tryouts for the Recreational division.
• Teams are formed around the school/zone codes of the coach and players. Generally there can be several school/zone combinations on a team.
• The Recreational program starts with practices two days a week.
• Recreational soccer is age pure for U6, U7, and U8. Older age groups are formed at two-year intervals with teams at U9/10, U11/12, U13/14, and U15/U16 and U17-U19.
• It is a 10-game season and games are played on the weekends that can include some Sunday games.

School/Zone Codes: Your school and zone code tells the League where your player attends school and the area in which you live. This information is used for team formation so it is important that it is correct. Click here

Coach Background Checks:  All NEW head and assistant coaches must complete a LIVE SCAN fingerprint background check for Mustang. Click here for more information on Coach Background Checks. 

Player Registration: To play in the Recreational league you must complete an online League registration for your player. No further action is necessary to be placed on a Recreational or Recreational  Plus team. To start the process, click here.

Coach Registration: All Recreational head and assistant coaches must register separately from thier player to be considered for a coaching position.  To register as a coach or assistant coach click here.

Recreational Plus: The Rec Plus program is available to Recreational U9-U16 players. It is a single registration and you must register in the appropriate age group for Rec Plus.  Go to the Rec Plus page for a full program description.

Team Formation Requests: Because of the size of the Recreational division, the league is unable to accommodate any coach, team, practice schedule, carpool, or after school care requests. The only way to guarantee placement on a specific team is to be part of the coaching team (one head coach and two assistant coaches) or if you are one of the eligible protected players from last year’s team.  You may make one sibling or friend request but no requests are ever guaranteed.  If you list more than one friend request, only the first name will be considered.
