Few Spots Left, 2nd–7th Grade — Reach OutRecreational isn't a lesser version of Competitive — it's the same 10-week technical and tactical progression (dribbling and ball control, building out of the back, passing and possession, defending, finishing, and finally game strategy and goal-setting), taught by the same caliber of coach, just paced for a social, once-a-week rhythm instead of a travel schedule.
This is also where the game grows up a little: a bigger field, a bigger ball, and her first introduction to goalkeeping — footwork, catching, distribution — on top of passing and possession skills that now stretch 10–40 yards, on the ground and in the air.
We don't chase scores at this level — but when a real curriculum meets real coaching, winning tends to follow. Our 2nd and 3rd grade Recreational teams have gone 8–1–0 on one practice a week over the last two seasons — not a lucky roster, but sustained development under this exact curriculum finally showing up on the scoreboard.
Why parents choose Recreational Soccer
- One practice, one game a week — fits a family's schedule without swallowing the weekend
- The same professional, all-female coaching staff and curriculum as our competitive program — held to the same bar: running a full 2nd–7th grade team and teaching real attacking, defending, and transition principles
- Her first introduction to goalkeeping and full-field passing (10–40 yards, ground and air) — real next steps, not more of the same
- Development that shows up in the win column, not just at practice

Where we typically play
SF SOL practices happen citywide — most often on Golden Gate Park turf and grass fields (Beach Chalet, Crocker Amazon, Big Rec, Polo Fields), Sunset District playgrounds (West Sunset, South Sunset), and neighborhood fields in the Marina, SOMA, Presidio, and Fillmore. SF Rec & Park assigns exact fields through an annual permit lottery, so specific locations shift somewhat from season to season — this map reflects where SF SOL teams have typically played.
