    More About Tropical Soccer Recreational Program  
         
    Tropical Soccer's recreational program concepts are listed below:

  • Everyone Plays
    Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least half of every game.
  • Balanced Teams
    Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible?because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.
  • Open Registration
    Our program is open to all children between 4 and 17 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.
  • Positive Coaching
    Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.
  • Good Sportsmanship
    We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of soccer.
In the recreational season, each child who registers is guaranteed to play at least half of every game. To help create evenly matched games, all recreational players are placed on new or "balanced" teams each year. These decisions are made based on each player's skill level and the overall ability of the team.
