The Sandy Spring Soccer Club (SSSC) offers recreational programs in the spring, fall, and winter. This program is strictly for beginner soccer players who are looking to explore soccer and have fun in a non-competitive environment. There is no season to season comittment for this program similar to our Junior Academy and Academy programs, but when a player signs up for a season the expectation is for the player to complete the season. The spring season is typically from April – June, the Fall season is from September – November, and the Winter indoor season runs from December – March. Coaches are a mix of professional coaches who work with our Junior Academy and Academy programs, along with volunteer coaches. During the winter season, our professional coaches train the players twice a week. During the spring and fall seasons, our professional coaches train the players during the week and volunteer coaches coach the team on the weekends. There is positive feedback throughout the season and plenty of fun interactive games to keep the kids moving. We play various games like Dribble Tag, Red-Light Green Light, Get the Coach, 1 v 1, and so many more fun exercises. All of the players have a ball at their feet at all times, and our coaches are very much involved in their development and fun. Teams are grouped by 10-12 players.
Spring Season: April 13 – June 4, 2023
Practice Days: Tuesdays (Optional Free Play) and Thursdays (Official Practice Day)
Free Play Soccer (Optional): Tuesdays (Starting 3/14) – 5:15 pm – 6:30 pm. Players will be grouped by age and skill ability. This program is a free club run program to unite the Recreation program with our Junior Academy and Academy players. So the skill level of the kids will vary.

Cost: $225 per player (includes uniform – jersey, shorts, and socks that must be worn for practices and games). Players will only receive uniforms if they are new or have grown out of them.
We always NEED new volunteer coaches for Rec In-House teams. Please consider volunteering to head coach, assist or even help manage a team. Your child’s fee will be waived for volunteering. SSSC Recreational Program is 75% volunteer dependent, and without volunteer parents like you stepping up, our children would not be able to play. If you’d like more information on volunteering, please email the Rec Director.
