Youth Soccer Programs | Coppermine Soccer Club

Great, Low-Pressure, No-Tryout Soccer — On Real Club Facilities

This program exists to make great soccer accessible. There are no tryouts, no evaluations, and no cuts — every player who registers gets a roster spot, a jersey, and a season of games. The emphasis throughout is on fun, participation, and skill-building in an environment built for confidence, not competition anxiety.

What makes the experience stand out is where it happens: every location plays on our club's professional-caliber, unmatched facilities — turf fields and indoor turf spaces that most recreational programs simply don't have access to. Families get the look, feel, and quality of a true club environment, with none of the club-level commitment.

Each weekly session follows the same proven structure across all five locations:

30 minutes of drill-based instruction — focused, age-appropriate technical training led by trained coaches
30 minutes of organized scrimmage — in-house games against other teams at the same location, so every rep in practice gets put to immediate use

Players are placed on teams by age group at their chosen location and play the same teams in-house all season, building familiarity, friendships, and team chemistry along the way. And because this is designed as a true pathway program, it's especially well-suited for:

First-time players or those with limited to no prior team experience
Players who want to be identified and developed inside the club pathway
Players simply looking for extra minutes, touches, and game reps outside their primary team

Friend requests are encouraged — sign up together and we'll do our best to place teammates together. We also offer family and multi-sibling discounts, and the season wraps with a community tournament that brings every location together to celebrate the fall. It's a full season of real soccer, real development, and real fun — with no club commitment required.

Unmatched Support for Volunteer Coaches

We believe the parent volunteers who step up to coach deserve more support than they typically get anywhere else — and we built this program around that belief. Coaching here isn't a leap of faith; it's backed by the same infrastructure our own club coaches use every week. Volunteer coaches receive:

Access to coaching licensure and club-supported advancement — a real path to grow your own coaching credentials and development, supported by our staff
Club-aligned training and curriculum — the same framework and philosophy used by our official club coaches, so every team develops consistently
A club-backed drill library for session planning — practice plans built by our coaching directors, so you're never starting from a blank page
Coaching equipment and official club apparel — outfitted and equipped like a true member of our staff
A growing network of fellow coaches — community, support, and shared knowledge across every location in the program

This level of support means the role is genuinely open to anyone — first-time coaches with zero experience and seasoned veterans alike. For many parents, it becomes one of the most rewarding parts of the season: a chance to learn and grow right alongside your own child, build something together, and share in a positive experience that benefits both of you. No prior coaching background is required — just a willingness to show up and learn. We'll handle the rest.

How It Works: Schedule, Cost, and What to Bring

Schedule

Every location runs on the identical weekly schedule for the entire fall season:

Saturday mornings, 8:30–9:30 AM, (NORTH ONLY LOCATION, FRIDAY EVENINGS 6:30-7:30pm)
1x per week for the full 8-week fall schedule
30 minutes of drills followed by 30 minutes of in-house scrimmage

Note: our North location (Copperplex Turf Field) runs on a special schedule — Friday evenings only — rather than Saturday mornings. See the location details below.

What's Included

A team jersey, used for every practice and game all season
Placement on a team by age group, coached by a trained, club-aligned volunteer parent coach
8 weeks of organized instruction, scrimmages, and fun
A pathway into our club teams for players who want to continue
A season-ending community tournament

What to Bring

The only items families need to provide are soccer shorts, soccer socks, and soccer shoes. Everything else — jersey, coaching, fields, and equipment — is taken care of.

Cost

$125 for 8 weeks at our standard locations. Our West location (4 Seasons Indoor Turf Field) is priced at $105. Family and multi-sibling discounts are available at every location. Player discounts for parents who volunteer to coach.

Choose Your Location

All five locations run the same program, the same curriculum, and the same coaching standards — the only difference is which field is most convenient for you. You are not required to register at the location closest to your home; families from any surrounding community are welcome to register at any location that fits their schedule.

Program Overview

Our Fall 2026 Recreation Program is built for players and families who want real soccer development without the tryouts, travel commitments, or pressure of a club team. It's also a genuine on-ramp into our club: every session is run on our professional, club-grade fields, every coach is trained and aligned to our curriculum, and every player is given the chance to be seen and developed inside our system — whether that's their goal or simply a happy side effect of a fun practice.

The program runs across five locations throughout the region, so families can choose whichever field is most convenient — and registration is open across all of them, regardless of which community you live in. Every location runs the identical format for the entire fall season: one session per week, every Saturday or Friday, for the full schedule at that field. In other words, when you register, you're not picking a different program at each site — you're simply picking the location, day, and time that works best for your family. The experience, coaching standards, and curriculum are the same everywhere.

Whether your child has never kicked a ball or has been playing for years, this program is designed to meet them where they are: low-pressure, high-repetition, lots of touches on the ball, and a clear pathway forward if and when they're ready for more.
