Youth Recreation League

Posted by Molly F. on 7/17/2005

They have a great, inexpensive youth recreation league that I highly recommend, especially for youth soccer. I liked their program for parents - it was a mandatory PALS course that parents attended for free and took maybe 1.5 hrs of my time. I think it was worth it, as all the parents were really laid back at the games and had a good sense of humor about everything. My daughter played soccer for the league. Cost was $25, which included a uniform that we got to keep; there were no hidden fees. Everything felt organized. There was plenty of parking, but on busy days it was limited, so we'd to park & walk, not a big deal unless we were running late. The coaches were fantastic.
