Fall 2024 season
Elite SoccerStars is about the fun of playing soccer, but it’s also about improving skills, age-appropriate competition, playing on a team, and learning to be a good teammate. Elite SoccerStars will enhance their individual technical ability and develop FUN-damental movement skills. It’s still about kids having fun playing soccer, but as important as anything, it’s about a smooth transition to the next level, whatever that next level will be.
All practices and games are coached by Elite Soccer's professional staff.

How do you know if the practice session is canceled?
To keep our players and families better informed on weather updates, we are using RainoutLine.com . Please note: your specific class on the app will ONLY be updated by the coach when there needs to be an update to the class due to a cancelation or delay because of lightning/thunder. If practice is good to go, it will stay showing as a green color meaning "the class is running" and there is no need to continuously update the class daily on the coaches end.
HOW TO REGISTER A FULL TEAM:
1. In order to register a team, Click on excel form Fall Soccer Team Form
