Registration is OPEN for Spring 2026 Recreational Soccer!
Aptos Soccer Club's Fall- and Spring Recreational Leagues aim to provide affordable programs where kids have fun, improve their soccer skills, and develop sportsmanship and a love for the game. All teams are led by volunteer parent coaches. A professional coach/trainer will provide weekly practice plans and, whenever possible, be on the field to support volunteer coaches and assist players during training sessions.
Spring League. The spring recreational soccer season starts in early March and runs for approximately ten weeks. All age brackets play 5v5, a fast paced fun version of the game played on a small field, where each player's involvement is maximized. Teams practice 1-2 days a week depending on the age of the group. Games are played on Sundays to avoid conflicts with other spring sports that start in March. All games are played against other ASC teams unless low registration is limiting; in the case of low turnout, we will play games against the 5v5 recreational program from Scott's Valley, and games will be 50% or more home games. Given the small format and field size, coaches and volunteers will referee the games. Teams of the same age will practice at the same time and location to make carpooling easier. Your player's registration fee covers the cost of his or her uniform, field rentals, equipment, and insurance.
Registration Fees for Spring 2026:
U6, U8, U10 and U12 - $200

Our U12 & U15 teams play games against recreational teams from other local soccer clubs as part of the Santa Cruz County Recreational League.
