IMPORTANT: In-House Rec Update

We are heading toward creating an in-house league for our Recreational Teams for the Spring 2025 season. First, this will only be for the U8 boys, U10 boys, and U12 boys age groups. The locations of the in-house program will be Herdklotz Park, Westside Park, and the Crocs Center.


Our other age groups (U15 boys, U8 girls, U10 girls, U12 girls, U15 girls) will remain playing games at the Mesa soccer complex.
