Bath Youth Soccer is a recreational soccer program dedicated to providing an opportunity to all young people to learn and play soccer.
Beyond being fun and inclusive, soccer offers countless benefits that extend far beyond the field. From the physical benefits of playing soccer to its role in building character, this sport has a unique way of shaping young lives.
The league runs for 6 weeks and includes weekday evening practices and one Saturday morning game each week. Games are non-competitive and emphasize participation, effort, and sportsmanship over winning. Coaches are parent volunteers who create a positive, encouraging atmosphere where every child gets a chance to play and learn.
Whether your child is brand new to soccer or continuing to develop their skills, this program is a great way to build confidence, stay active, and have fun with friends.
Our goals are to teach fundamental soccer skills in a setting that focuses on fun, building confidence, teamwork, good sportsmanship and healthy competition.
