Summer Programs The White Bear Soccer Club takes great pride in providing everyone - from Premier to Classic-3 - a place to play summer soccer. Under-5 through Under-10 levels are instructional while Under-11 and older are competitive. The summer season runs from mid-May through late-July, although start dates vary according to age level. U5 - U8 Boys - Mon/Wed
U9 - U19 Boys/Girls play MYSA traveling soccer. The days for these ages can be found at the MYSA web site. Under-5 and Under-6 players and coaches are introduced to soccer through our Micro Soccer program. Micro Soccer (3-v-3, no keeper) features an eight game schedule during June and July on small fields to enhance skill development. Girls and boys have separate leagues. Games are played on weeknights. Teams typically play one game per week against other WBSC teams, and practice once or twice per week. Under-7 teams play 4-v-4 (no keeper) while Under-8 teams play 5-v-5 (plus keeper). Both play a nine-game in-house schedule. Games are played on weeknights. Game nights do not conflict with Community Services recreational t-ball and baseball. Under-9 and Under-10 teams play 6v6 games. They typically play a 10-game schedule against neighboring communities in MYSA's East District in Maroon or Gold divisions. Teams typically enter three or four weekend tournaments (the club provides a portion of the tourney fees), and the MYSA's Soccer Jamboree in late July. Under-11 and older teams are competitive and play in Premier, Classic 1, Classic 2, or Classic 3 leagues. These teams are formed through tryouts. They play one or two games and practice two or three times per week. Depending on the level of play, game nights may conflict with Community Services recreational baseball and softball game nights. Competitive teams typically play in several tournaments. The USA Cup in July is a favorite. State tournaments are held in late July.

The noncompetitive Parents' League season runs June through September
with Sunday evening games. Teams are co-ed; no experience is required.
Return to top Starting in 2001, the fall Micro Soccer Programs for kindergartners and first graders will be organized by the Community Services and Recreation Department. WBSC will continue to provide MYSA traveling teams for Under-9 through Under-14 age levels. Fall games are played on weekends. The Community Services and Recreation Department fall program offers recreational in-house leagues for second through eighth grades.
For those high school students who are unable to participate in the high
school program, a 7 V 7 co-ed league plays on Saturday mornings,
September - October. |
