CLCF Developmental Soccer is offered for U8, U10, U13, and U17 age groups during both the fall and spring seasons. Please refer to the CLCF Age Matrix to determine your child’s division.
The program fee is $100, which includes a full uniform (shirt, shorts, and socks), as well as an end-of-season award.
The program runs weekly and includes:
One hour-long practice on a weeknight
Games on Saturday mornings at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, or 11:30 AM
During registration, you may indicate up to two nights your child is unavailable for practice. We use this information when forming teams to best accommodate schedules.
The Developmental Program is designed for players of all skill levels and experience. Our focus is on learning the game in a positive, supportive environment while building fundamental skills. Soccer helps promote physical fitness and teaches important life skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship, fair play, problem-solving, and confidence.
All teams are coached by parent volunteers, which is essential to keeping the program running and accessible to families. We are always in need of coaches—if you are interested, please contact us to get involved.

US Soccer Referee Abuse Policy
US Soccer published a new policy on referee abuse with substantial punishments for when it occurs, such as multiple game suspensions. This policy applies to all US Youth Soccer organizations, which CLCF Soccer is. The policy applies to coaches, players, and spectators. Notice that the number of game suspensions is tripled if the referee is a minor. Please see the policy at THIS LINK. There is a video that everyone should watch at THIS LINK.
