About the Program

The Jackson Soccer Club Intramurals is a recreational program open to children ranging in age from 3 to 17 years old. The program strives to create a safe, fun, and exciting environment for children to learn the game of soccer.

We form teams and divisions based on age. We follow US Soccer principles to develop kids — physically, technically, strategically, and grow their Soccer IQ.

We offer both a Fall and Spring season:

  • Fall: Teams begin practicing mid-August; games run September to early November.
  • Spring: Teams begin practicing end of March; games run April to mid-June.
🙋 We need volunteer coaches at every level — no experience required!
We have trainers who support coaches throughout the season. If you have energy and want to help, we want you.

How to Register

  • Go to the Jackson Soccer Club registration site and choose the program your child will play in.
  • Existing members: log in to your existing account rather than creating a second one. Creating a duplicate account splits your family's history and delays team placement.
  • New families: create one household account, then add each child as a participant under that account.
  • Select the correct program and division for each child, then complete the registration questions.
  • Read and accept the club waivers and codes of conduct during checkout.
  • Pay in full to complete registration — a registration is not finished until payment is received.
  • Upload the required documents (see below). Team assignment cannot happen until these are uploaded.
  • Watch for a confirmation email. Your coach will contact you 1–2 weeks before the season starts.

Required Documents

Every player must have two documents on file before they can be placed on a team: (1) proof of age — a birth certificate or passport, and (2) a current color photo of the player's face.

Both are uploaded through your registration account. A player will not be assigned to a team until both documents have been uploaded and approved, so please complete this step as soon as you register.

If you have already uploaded these documents in a previous season under the same account, you do not need to upload them again unless the club asks you for an updated photo.

Important Information

Team Placement

  • Teams are chosen at random based on age/grade level/gender.
  • We cannot accept player, coach, or teammate requests.
  • We do our best to make teams as fair as possible.
  • Coaches will reach out to families 1–2 weeks before the season starts.

Register Early

⚠️ Please register early. Late registrations cannot be guaranteed team placement or uniforms. Full payment is required to be placed on a waitlist.

Waitlist Policy

We run a waitlist when registration approaches our limit for any division. Registering for the waitlist holds your place in line. If you are on the waitlist and we don't assign you to a team by Week 3, you can receive a full refund.

If a division needs coaches, players whose parent volunteers to coach will be given priority on the waitlist.
