Youth Rec Soccer - Spring 2026

Registration is open NOW!

Our Spring programs include offerings depending on age:

  • For players born between 2007 and 2017, we offer a league program that competes in either the Thurston County Youth Soccer Association (TCYSA) or the Grays Harbor Foothills Youth Soccer Association (GHYSA). These programs' season runs from March to mid-June.
  • For players born between 2018 and 2021, we offer a junior soccer program, which runs the months of April and May and is focused on developing skills for younger players. 

Our regular registration will run from October 24, 2025 - January 31, 2026. Due to our focus on keeping team sizes in compliance with association roster rules, players will be added to a waitlist once the age groups hit max capacity. Waitlisted players will be placed on a team where possible in order of registration date. **No team or player requests are guaranteed.

 

IMPORTANT!! We do require proof of age for each player. Please email a proof of age document/image (Passport, Birth Certification, Driver's Licenses or State Issued ID) to Registrar@smysc.org. If we already have it on file from previous seasons, there is no need to re-submit it.

 

As a club, we rely on community volunteers. If you have any interest in coaching this Spring season, please register early so we can avoid any last-minute cutting of teams. We can also always use volunteers to assist with park maintenance or our Snack Shack. Take advantage of this opportunity while we work to grow and develop Shelton FC. Register now, and let's kick off another incredible soccer season together!

What is Fall/Spring league soccer like?

Fall and spring season are a traditional local travel team competition environment. It is a recreational league, meaning that there are no tryout and that all participants will share playing time equitably. We have volunteer coaches who do a great job balancing competition and playing opportunity. Travel should be expected to Grays Harbor, Thurston, Lewis, and Mason county area teams. League play begins for kids U9 players and extends to high school players. 

ht is Fall/Spring Jr. Soccer Program (U6 & U8 Divisions)

Jr. Soccer is Shelton FC’s local developmental program designed for young players ages 4–7, with separate U6 and U8 divisions. This recreational program helps kids build a strong foundation in soccer while preparing them to enter league play in future seasons. There are no tryouts — all participants are welcome and receive equal playing time in a fun, inclusive environment. Jr. Soccer follows the play-practice-play model, where kids develop individual skills through fun, soccer-based activities in each session. Parents serve as volunteer coaches and assistants, helping guide players through drills and small-sided games. Teams practice twice a week, and players participate in in-house competitions on weekday evenings, keeping games local and convenient for families.   Whether your child is brand new to soccer or building on what they've learned, Jr. Soccer is a fun and supportive way to grow as a player!
