RECREATION EXPERIENCE


Barry Slagle, Director of Recreation, interviews two recreational players, Zoey and Julia, along with their coach, Bill Hart in an episode of Chats with Jacks. They share their personal experiences in the recreation program, discussing how it has influenced their development, confidence, and love for soccer.


Tune in to hear their stories and gain insight into the positive impact of our Recreation program and volunteer coaches!

In partnerships with Soccer Stars youth soccer program, we offer a fun, positive & non-competitive environment where children learn the fundamentals of soccer. We use the soccer ball as the vehicle to help children improve their soccer skills, develop self-confidence and physical literacy, improve gross motor skills, and hone socialization skills.


Look below under Training Schedules to see Soccer Stars Fall sessions in Huntersville, Cornelius, Mooresville, Rock Hill, and Tega Cay. We have specific programming for 2–4-year-olds.



WHAT'S NEXT?

Junior Academy Technical Program

(U6-U8) The Junior Academy Technical Program is a training program that can be an addition to the Recreation program. It aims to elevate player skills and foster development through a distinct approach focusing entirely on enhancing technical abilities and skill implementation aligned with The Independence Way.

 

This program not only provides a platform for individual skill development but also strengthens teamwork. Players will grow together, learning valuable skills that can be applied back in a team environment.


Sessions will be tailored by our professionally certified and licensed coaching staff and led by high-level instructors, with a sole emphasis on fundamental technical skills. This training program is a fantastic opportunity for our coaches to enhance player skills and guide them along our development pathway.

Program Highlights:

  • Focus on technical skills and individual development.
  • Builds teamwork and prepares players to contribute effectively in team environments.
  • Sessions led by certified, licensed coaches and high-level instructors.
  • Designed as a development pathway to enhance performance and confidence.


Join us this Spring for an engaging and focused training experience where commitment to technical excellence meets the spirit of teamwork!


*This is only a training program. There are no games.


YOUTH ACADEMY

(U8-U10) The Youth Academy is the beginning of the Player Pathway into our Local, Regional and National Competitive Programs. The program places emphasis on 3 areas of Individual Player Development: Soccer Development, Athletic Development, Personal Development. The program focuses on developing the individual player’s technical abilities, providing opportunities to play various positions in matches and the freedom to make their own decisions and learn from their own experiences. The CISC YA (Youth Academy) Program focuses on the overall well-being of the person that will enhance their lives for years to come!

Volunteer


As a volunteer coach, you play a key role in developing a community of soccer enthusiasts! If you have ever played soccer, even if you haven't laced up cleats in more years than you'd admit, you are a soccer player. Similarly, if you have sat in the stands of a soccer game, been coached by your own parent or neighbor, you know what it is to be a soccer player. If you have played any other sport, or been a fan, you know that physical or technical skills are only one trait, among many other valuable development opportunities provided by sport.   


While heavy oversight and continued education are provided by the club, we do rely on participation from our community to support the ever-growing Recreational Leagues. If you are interested in joining the club, supporting your neighborhood, creating a family on the sideline, please reach out to us by completing the quick interest survey.

The club is fantastic...Everyone from the club that I have interacted with as been so helpful and really care about the kids that participate and the communities that they operate and serve in.  They make sure to provide an atmosphere that is not only fun but instructive.  As a parent and also as a volunteer you cannot go wrong."
