The Shaler SC Experience
Community Soccer is primarily devoted to the enjoyment and development of youth soccer players. The purpose of community soccer is to provide an opportunity for the participants to have fun, learn the sport, develop life skills and develop a love for the game.
The Shaler Soccer Club is a family-oriented soccer club that provides an opportunity to play organized soccer at the developmental, recreational, and competitive levels for players at ages 2– 19 years old. We offer programs that place the focus on the development of the whole player within a team environment. The Shaler Soccer Club is committed to providing an overall athletic development for each individual player while offering players, their families and coaches an enjoyable soccer experience. We are dedicated to helping players reach their full potential while fostering a love of the game.
The Shaler Soccer Club is divided into four segments in order to provide focused attention to our different player groups.
