The purpose of the SESC U6 – U14 recreational soccer program is to provide an educational and fun environment for children to learn and participate in the sport of soccer. We at Southeast Soccer Club believe that all children who want to play can do so, regardless of ability. Our programs are structured to introduce young players and new coaches to the sport of soccer with an emphases on participation and enjoyment, as well as fair and balanced competition. Parents – we want your child to have a wonderful time and grow into a young adult with soccer as a positive aspect of their development! In return we ask that the kids who register to be on a team want to be there, will give the proper effort at practices and games, and will give the coaches and fellow players the attention and respect necessary for the team to be successful.
