Youth Soccer
Co-ed Spring Soccer Program
For Boys and Girls ages 4 through 13: the philosophy of the program is to teach skills and rules to each player. Each division has been adapted to the ability of each age group.
- Spring season will include 5 weeks of games. First Game will be April 18, 2026.
- Registration is online only - you can sign up here.
- Registration for our Spring Soccer 2026 will open on Jan 12 and will remain open until Jan 26 (exception, if an age division fills before the Jan 26 deadline, it will close sooner. Limited space is available, and divisions fill up quickly, so sign up sooner rather than later.)

Field Map
- When can I register my child for rec soccer?
-
Spring Soccer registration takes place in January and Fall Soccer registrations are in June.
- Can I register multiple kids at once?
-
Yes! Just add all players to your shopping cart before checking out.
- Why can’t my 6-year-old and 9-year-old play on the same team?
-
We have the teams divided by age as there’s a significant size difference in kids in different age groups. This is for the safety and well-being of all players.
- What equipment do we need?
-
The only equipment you need are shin guards. Soccer ball and cleats are optional.
- How can I input into what night practices take place?
-
The only way to do this is by volunteering as a Coach for your child’s team – coaches always get to choose the practice schedule and location for their team.
- How can I help?
-
Please consider volunteering as a coach. The success of our program lies with the generous help our coaches provide. It’s a really rewarding experience and you get refunded the cost of the program for your own child.
- How do I find out about my child’s practice schedule?
-
Coaches will email or call their teams before the start of the practices
- How can I find more information about soccer and the program?
-
https://www.recsoccer.info/ or visit our Facebook page – City of Walker parks and Recreation
- Why don’t we have standings for the teams?
-
Walker Rec soccer is about teaching children the fundamentals of the game in a fun way. We focus on fun, rather than the final scores.
