Southwest Jackson Soccer League believes all children should be able to participate in soccer and each child should be encouraged in a positive environment to achieve their potential.
Our Recreational League is for boys and girls ages 4 to 18 years old. Player’s age group is determined by their birth year.
Players ages 4 to 6 are placed on teams that practice 1 day per week and games are played on Saturday mornings. Players ages 6 and up are placed on teams that practice 2 days per week and games are played on Saturday mornings. There may be a weeknight or Sunday afternoon game depending on the number of teams per age group. All practices will be held at Butts Park. Games for Under 5 teams will be played at Butts Park. Home games for Under 6 and above teams will be played at Butts Park and away games will be scheduled with other metro Jackson area soccer leagues. Directions for these leagues are located here: Metro Area Fields
We try our best to place players on teams by their practice night(s) preference but we cannot guarantee this. Siblings playing in the same division will be placed on the same team. Siblings playing in different divisions may not be able to practice on the same night(s). Due to the large number of players, we cannot guarantee coach or team requests.
Coaches and volunteers are always welcomed. We provide training courses for all coaches. All Head Coaches will receive a discount off their child’s registration.
A discount of $10 for families with three or more players. No Refunds are given after players are placed on teams.
