Youth Soccer Leagues

Apache Junction Parks and Recreation is offering youth soccer leagues for boys and girls ages 4-11 divided into three age groups. Youth ages 4-5 will play on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-7 p.m. Youth ages 6-8 & 8-11 will play on Monday and Wednesday evenings (6-7 p.m./7-8 p.m.) and Saturday mornings (10-11 a.m./11 a.m.-noon). All leagues will be at Prospector Park, 3015 N. Idaho Rd. Registration fees are $40 for the 4-5 year old league, $45 for the 6-8 year old league and $50 for the 8-11 year old league. There is a $5 per participant discount if registered by Jan. 5. We are actively recruiting for volunteer coaches for all three leagues. Volunteer coaches can receive a refund of one child upon a successful background check and competition of the season.

The leagues kick off with a clinic the morning of Saturday, Jan. 14, at Prospector Park. The clinic for those registered in the 6-8 year old league is from 10-11 a.m. and those in the 8-11 year old league is from 11 a.m.-noon. There is no clinic for the 4-5 year old league. Players and coaches from the Apache Junction High School girls’ soccer team will be on hand to help run the clinics. Pre-registration in the program is required.
