Fall 2023 Player Evaluation Registration is now open

Saco Soccer Club is a non-profit organization, affiliated with Soccer Maine, committed to providing boys and girls ages 8 to 13 with a fun, competitive Southern Maine travel soccer experience. We welcome players from Saco and surrounding towns that don't have their own travel soccer team.

Saco Soccer Club Player Participation Information

Saco Soccer Club is dedicated to providing competitive, yet developmental and fun travel soccer experience for the youth of Saco, Dayton, Arundel and Old Orchard Beach. 

We generally seek players that have demonstrated proficiency in playing soccer at the Community level, are committed to attend practices and improve their skills, are highly “coachable”, and enjoy competing hard against quality opponents.

Typically players are expected to have at least a year of experience playing soccer and know the basics of ball handling and the game at the Under 8 (U8) through Under 10 (U10) age levels, with competency expectations increasing with each age group.

U12 – U14 age groups are most competitive and include playoffs and championships.

To be considered for a team, all players must attend try outs/player evaluations.

Fall soccer includes two practices per week and games on Sundays.  All age groups participate in at least one tournament (usually over Columbus/Indigenous Weekend).

Player selection/participation criteria is a combination of demonstrating the following:

1. skill/ability/performance
2. willingness to be coached
3. positive behavior/attitude
4. fostering team and sense of community
5. consistency and dependability in attending and being prepared for practice and games

The club is bound by team roster limits by SoccerMaine and Board/Coach discretion, and also strict age restrictions when assigning players to teams.

While we seek to include as many players as possible, it is important to know that not all players may be assigned a team due to roster limits, age restrictions, and/or not meeting other evaluation criteria listed above.

Any player needing more initial training will be referred to local rec and soccer development programs and encouraged to try out again the following year. 

Player evaluations will be scheduled for early/mid June, after which players will be invited to teams.

Once invited to a specific team, registration fee will be assessed and become due to secure spot on the team. Fee amount to be updated at a later date.  Scholarship/Financial assistance is available as part of the team registration process.

Practices will begin no earlier than August 1st, exact schedules/dates will be determined by and communicated by team coaches.

For any questions on the registration process or the club in general, please email sacosoccerclub@yahoo.com.
