The SHSC Recreational Program offers different level of competition for player’s ages 4-11. The program is basically broken into 3 age specific groups. The Fall Academy program is offered for player 4-6 years old. The Small-sided or Mod season is for players ages 6-9. SHSC Fall Rec and District season is comprised of boys and girls teams from U11-U-19 and compete from September-November with practices beginning in August. SHSC Revolution Select/Premiere teams begin at U11 with a try-out process and are always available to players who want to try-out.
In the Fall Academy, players will be trained Academy style, which means in larger groups and with more emphasis on basis fundamental skills and player development, by utilizing repetitive training techniques that are proven to help young players develop a certain confidence and a comfort level with the ball. Training sessions will be 2 X per week and will be 1 hour long. Saturdays will be game day where, players will be split into teams and able to showcase their newly acquired skills and their competitiveness.
The 2010 Fall Academy season will run for 8 consecutive weeks (Early Sept- Oct.) and will play 7 Saturday (Labor Day off) game days.

We also offer our Jr Rev Development Academy program for player’s ages 4-11 during the rest of the year and is not part of our Recreational Program. For more information on that check the Jr Rev Development Academy Tab on SHSCSOCCER.COM.
The Next option for our younger players is the small-sided or Mod Fall season. Here is where we form U8, U-9, U-10 teams and they compete on smaller fields with fewer players on each team. This increases playing time and increases the number of ball touches players get. After registration is finished the SHSC registrar will place players on teams and the club will appoint volunteer/ parent coaches. The SHSC Coaching Director will help educate all small-sided coaches to ensure they are giving players the proper instruction. Please contact the club if you are interested in coaching with the SHSC. The small-sided season runs from August-November,
As players get older the have more options to play competitive soccer. At U11 players are able to try-out for our Revolution Select/Premier, they are also able to play at the recreational or district levels. After registration closes teams will be formed and teams will be assembled. This season runs from August-November, some teams choose to participate in a post-season tournament. Teams at this level can also compete in summer-tournaments and some choose to play more than just during the fall season.
