seasonal information
Salvo SC and TRAA offer fall, winter, and spring Recreation soccer sessions.
Our Warriors Soccer program is offered in the fall and brings high-quality, fun, and competitive community soccer experiences to grades Pre-K through 6. All teams are coached by parent volunteers and meet two or three times per week, depending on age group, for practices and games. Find out more about fall program details and schedules by visiting the TRAA website!
During the winter, we offer three separate 6-week sessions, each meeting once per week. These sessions are coached by the Salvo SC coaching staff and focus on fun, engaging training while giving players the chance to practice alongside a wider range of teammates with varying skill levels. Families can choose to register for one, two, or all three sessions.
During the spring session players are coached by parent volunteers. Each team meets twice per week for one hour with their parent coach. At the U5/U6 level, each session includes 30 minutes of activities followed and 30 minutes of a scrimmage/game. For all other age groups, one weekly session is focused on training, while the other is a game.
*All age groups have the potential to be gender-specific or co-ed depending on final registration numbers.*
