Youth Soccer League
Boys and Girls K-8th grade (Fall 2022) Soccer
Decatur-Adams County Parks and Recreation has an AWESOME Youth Soccer program every fall. Soccer is a great way for kids to have FUN, develop motor skills, and meet new friends! It is our goal to provide a positive soccer experience for every child, regardless of skill level.
DIVISIONS
Players are separated into the following divisions
Boys K-2nd grade
Boys 3rd-4th grade
Boys 5th-8th grade
Girls K-2nd grade
Girls 3rd-4th grade
Girls 5th-8th grade
PRACTICES
Teams are also separated by location (for practices): Decatur, Monroe, or Berne. This is to allow for less travel to weekly practices as Monroe teams practice in Monroe, etc. (all games are played in Decatur).
Decatur teams practice fields: Homestead Park, Worthman Field
Monroe teams practice fields: Adams Central High School
Berne teams practice fields: South Adams High School
Teams generally practice one evening per week, although some 5th-8th grade teams practice twice per week. Practice schedules vary by team and are established by our volunteer coaches.
***PLEASE NOTE***
This program begins registering very early in the year due to the large volume of players and volunteers participating. You will not hear from the Parks and Rec Department OR your team's coach until early August 2022. Coaches will contact players directly the week of August 1st to begin team practices.
