SOCCER
Elvaton Soccer - Fall 2023 Registration is Open!
​
​
Elvaton Soccer provides playing opportunities for approximately 300 children from Anne Arundel County each year. The program runs from early September through the first weekend in November. The program does not have try-outs and invites everyone regardless of skill level to join us for learning, fun, and exercise!
Fall Soccer will be offered in a clinic format for the younger ages and in-house league for the older ages. In the clinic format, sessions will have both a practice and scrimmage/game component, ensuring players get to play. In the in-house league format, each team will practice 1-2 times per week on weekdays and play 1 game per week on weekends against other teams in the age group. All coaches are volunteers and coaches aim for equal playing time for all players. All programs focus on learning and fun.
While ages are not rigid as we prefer for athletes to play with their friends, family and classmates the following is generally how divisions are divided:
​
----------
​​
Ages 4-5-6
- 2 clinic (half practice, half scrimmage game) sessions per week
- Scrimmages are 4 v 4 with no goalie
- No officials
- Focus on fun
​
Ages 7-8
- 1-2 practices each week
- 1 game each week
- Parent Officials
- Games are 7 v 7 with a goalie
- Focus on a mix of skill development, learning, and fun
​
Ages 9-10
- 2 practices each week
- 1 game each week
- Licensed Referee for Each Game (if available)
- Games are 7 v 7 with a goalie
- Focus on a mix of skill development, learning and fun
​

If there are not enough teams to form an in-house league, teams may play in the Anne Arundel County League (AAYSA).
We will work with each team to make sure levels are even and friends play with friends. Please note any friend or coach requests during registration.
​
Coaches and Team Officials are all parent volunteers who are organized by the team prior to the season start. Teams will utilize our Team Snap application to communicate and organize teams and leagues.
Spring soccer will be offered in a similar format with registration opening in January.
