Salem Children's Soccer League runs in both spring and fall and is made up of co-ed teams for children ages 3–11 years old (age as of July 31, 2017 for the Fall 2017 season). All games are played on the soccer fields at Salem Baptist Church. The teams are grouped into 6 divisions: U4, U6, U8, U10, U12, and U-Can-Play (for players with special needs). Team assignments for U8, U10, and U12 will be decided by the results of registration and evaluation day outcomes to make teams of similar ages and skill levels. Every practice/game begins with prayer and each practice will include a devotion. REGISTER NOW. The U6 division is currently full and a wait list has been started. We are looking into options for creating additional slots and after registration closes on July 28 we can finalize those options. Starting this season, if a parent volunteers to coach, we will guarantee a slot for their child. If you would like your child to be added to the wait list, or if you are willing to help coach, please contact Chris for more information.

Sessions will be held on Friday nights prior to scheduled Saturday games (if there is no scheduled game for a particular week, there will be no Friday night session).
