our programs

Young athletes are introduced to the game through a fun, supportive environment where they’ll experience being part of a team, attending practices, and playing in short, non-competitive games.

Each season is split into two parts:

• Fall: September–October
• Spring: April–May

Program Structure:

U6 & U7: Fully in-house program with all practices and games held in McFarland

U8: Primarily in-house, with occasional friendly games against nearby clubs such as Monona Grove and Sun Prairie

Practices:

• One practice per week (Monday–Thursday evenings)
• Practice nights vary based on field availability and coach schedules
• If you have other activities that will conflict with a specific practice night, you can email info@mcfarlandsoccer.org before teams are shared (Requests are not guaranteed)
• Practice details will be shared by your coach in late July or early August
• Practices usually begin at 5pm or 5:45/6pm

Games:

Typically played on Saturdays, with occasional Sunday games

What Players Need:

• Size 3 soccer ball
• Cleats
• Shin guards
• Soccer socks (any color)
• A team jersey is provided

Coaching: Our program relies on volunteer coaches—no prior experience is necessary! If you’re interested in coaching, we encourage you to get involved.

Note:

Registration is for the full year; teams remain the same from fall through spring . Spring-only registration is not offered but new players may join in spring if space allows. No discounts for partial/half season. 

A late registration fee of $25.00 applies for registrations received after June 20th. 

Our U9–U10 program focuses on building strong technical skills such as dribbling and passing, encouraging individual decision-making, and introducing basic spatial awareness and tactical concepts. Above all, we emphasize player development and a love of the game.

All U9 and U10 teams participate in the Madison Area Youth Soccer Association (MAYSA) league, competing against similarly skilled teams throughout the Greater Madison area.

Program Structure

Each age/gender group (e.g., U9 Boys, U10 Girls) has one dedicated Program Director and team coaches for each team. The Program Director oversees all training sessions, and teams within each age group practice at the same time. Games are 7v7 including a goalkeeper. There are some specific rule adaptions during MAYSA games to encourage development.

Team Formation

• No tryouts at this level
• Players are placed on balanced teams by Program Directors and coaches
• Teams are offered for Boys/Coed & Girls. All boys teams are considered coed, and girls are welcome to play on boys teams. To request coed placement, please email info@mcfarlandsoccer.org.
