Fall / Spring Recreational Soccer
Ages 3–17 · Saturday mornings · All levels welcome
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 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.

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.
