Soccer Resource Center

The majority of youth soccer at the North Georgia Community YMCA is recreational. Recreational players sign up individually and are placed on teams by YMCA volunteers and staff based on their current skill level and experience. The goal is to balance the teams with players of like skill levels and increase the friendly competition. 

Definition of recreational soccer:
