FALL 2024 REC LEAGUE
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
Parents/Coaches: We will notify you of team rosters, practice schedules and more in late July. Any refund requests must be made by July 15th.
VOLUNTEER TO COACH!
You do not need any special qualifications or experience to coach a recreational team. Gold Country Soccer holds a coaching clinic before the season begins, typically at the end of July. The coaching clinic will teach you how to coach a youth soccer team, offer suggestions for practice drills, and suggest techniques that you may use for your own practices. We also offer head coach discounts.
