Recreation Youth Soccer
Join us this Fall for a fun season of Rec Soccer. Players in PreK (age 4) through grade 8 will develop skills, practice drills and learn the game. Dribble, pass, shoot!

Registration Deadline: August 9
If you register after the deadline, your player will be added to the waiting list. If a spot becomes available, your player's name will be moved off the waiting list. If and when this happens, an email will be automatically sent to you - so please keep an eye on your inbox. Log into your account at www.dunellenparksandrecreation.com to pay the registration fee and the $15 late fee. Your player will not be assigned to a team until payment is received. *A team uniform is not guaranteed for players who register late.

If you wish to withdraw registration, you may do so prior to August 23 for a refund of the registration fee minus a $15 administrative fee. A refund check will be processed and mailed to the address on your account. After that date, no refunds will be issued. Once teams are assigned, players may not switch teams. There will be no refunds issued for canceled practices or games.

Attire
Players must wear shin guards, soccer shorts and sneakers or soccer cleats (no metal spikes). *Team shirts and socks from the Rec Dept will be distributed by coaches.
