Recreation
Soccer for everyone!
Fun, fitness and friendships
The ASA recreational league is the largest youth sports league in Alexandria!
ASA’s recreational league is a volunteer based, inclusive soccer program for kids of all abilities and experience levels, ages 4-19. This program, all about fun, fitness and friendships, is the foundation of youth players’ soccer journey! Teams practice once a week and play games on Saturdays in Alexandria.
Kids are placed on teams that practice near or at their schools. This makes practices more convenient for families and helps group kids who know each other from school on the same team. Kids can choose to play on a Rec team at any grade—from Pre-K classmates trying a new sport to busy high school athletes balancing a demanding schedule.

How Does ASA Rec League Work?
The ASA Rec League takes place in the fall and spring for kids in PreK – 12th grade. Teams are formed based on grade level and school neighborhood. No tryouts are required. Team have one practice per week and play games on Saturdays (some high school teams may opt to have two practices per week).
Game formats vary by age group—less players on the field for younger age groups means kids get more touches on the ball. Wonderful volunteer coaches lead the teams helping create a fun and inclusive environment. If you’re interested in getting involved as a coach (with or without soccer experience) please reach out to Cindy at [email protected]
Participants who live outside Alexandria City proper (zip codes 22314, 22301, 22302, 22305, 22304, 22311, 22312) will pay a $35 non-resident fee per season. This fee is passed directly to the City of Alexandria.
Late registrations are currently being accepted until rosters are filled.
If space on a roster is not immediately available, your registration will be waitlisted.
Teams are created as player registrations are finalized. ASA Staff build rosters during this time and recruit coaches (are you interested in coaching?! Email [email protected]).
Volunteer coaches receive rosters and reach out to their teams as soon as possible with season information.
Additional Information
All Rec players need a blue and a red soccer jersey. Jerseys are $10 each and can be purchased online.
Additionally, shinguards are required for play. Players may wear any color of shorts & socks. Shorts and socks are available for purchase in the uniform store as well.
Financial Aid & refunds
Financial aid is available to Rec League players who qualify for the Alexandria City Public School (ACPS) Free or Reduced Lunch Program. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact the office at 703-684-5425 or email [email protected].
Refund Policy: ASA will process refund requests before the first game of the season. You will receive the amount you paid minus a non-refundable credit card service fee (if applicable). No refunds will be given after the first game of the season.
Recreation Programs
Junior Academy
For kids born in 2017 & 20178
The Junior Academy offers kids an early introduction to ASA’s Academy program with professional coaches, structured training sessions and a local league + scrimmages. Kids are identified and recommended by ASA coaches and invited to an ID session or practice for evaluation.
Junior Academy participants are often more comfortable on the ball than other kids their age and/or are interested in an extra practice each week in a structured environment. Many kids play on their Rec League team AND participate in the Junior Academy.
Thank you Parents coaches, volunteers.
The ASA Rec League is made possible by the incredible volunteer coaches who step up to coach each team. Are you a parent or adult who’d like to volunteer your time on the field?
No experience needed! ASA provides coaches with equipment (cones, pinnies, pop up goals), an ASA technical t-shirt and practice activities. Additionally, recreational coaches may contact ASA and request for practice support from a professional coach. Volunteer coaches provide a life-changing experience for kids on the soccer field and help make this league a family affair!
Sideline Behavior:
The Recreational League has a zero tolerance policy for negative and/or abusive sideline behaviour. Parents and coaches should be supportive sideline cheerleaders to help provide children with a positive and fun experience. Cheer for the kids — do not yell at the other team, players or referees. A few relevant resources for coaches and parents:
