WESCO Recreational

Register now for our 2023 Rec Season!

Registration is open now for our fall 2023 Recreational Season! Rec Registration is open to players born between 2008 and 2019. AT THIS TIME, WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT ONLINE REGISTRATIONS, there are no registrations in person at the office. Our regular Rec Registration is open to players born between 2010 and 2019. There is a separate U16 Registration for players born in 2008 and 2009.

Our season runs from August to October and the practice schedule is set by the coaches who have to base practices on their work schedule.  All practices are on Monday through Friday, start between 4:30pm and 6:00pm and are between 45-90 minutes long (practices move 30 minutes earlier in September due to sunset). In previous years, coaches in older divisions generally had two practices a week. The majority of the games will be on Saturday, with a few games on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening. We do not play games on Sunday or Friday. Due to field availability, some divisions may have one weekly practice and fewer games.

There are scholarships available! WESCO United is committed to allowing every child to play no matter their financial situation. For more information about financial aid, visit https://www.wescosoccer.org/financial-aid/

Players with birth years 2016 and younger will be grouped on teams by school when possible.  All players with birth years 2015 and older must attend one evaluation day for team balancing purposes. Evaluations will be held on Saturday, May 13th and Sunday, May 21st. The Evaluation day schedule can be found HERE. Coaches will then draft players for the older divisions.  Players unable to attend evaluations will be randomly placed on a team and may not request any link.

Requests for placement on a specific team, or to play with another specific player must be made before team formation. Any requests for team placement must have a legitimate hardship reason. In order for placement requests to be considered, all involved players must attend a player evaluation day for their age in the spring AND request this placement at a special meeting for linking players. Special Rec linking meetings will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, May 16th & Wednesday, May 31st. Information about the meeting can be found here: Special Rec Linking Meeting Information.

For divisions U6 & U8, parents will be contacted about team placement and practices by August 1st. For divisions U10 through U14, parents will be contacted about team placement and practices in late July. If we are able to form teams in the U16 divisions, you will be contacted by August 1st.

If you are interested in coaching, please fill out our new WESCO United Coach Application!

Late registration is June 1st - June 30th and a $30 late fee will be included.  Late registrations are not guaranteed a team spot and will be added on an at-need basis.

Rec Volunteer Opportunities

WESCO United is a volunteer run organization. In order for the league to run smoothly, it is important to have as many parent volunteers as possible.  Please look through the volunteer opportunities and decide where you will be able to assist.

Read our Recreational Handbook!

The WESCO United Recreational Handbook & Playing Rules had been put together in order to answer many of the questions you have about our Rec League including what ages can participate and how teams are formed.  This document also includes our playing rules for the Recreational divisions. We hope this will answer many of the questions you have about our Rec League and we look forward to seeing you on the field!

Recreational Soccer

Recreational soccer provides a rich and enjoyable environment where children can be introduced to this wonderful sport in a nurturing and supportive way. In recreational soccer, children gain skills and learn the fundamentals of soccer in a low pressure, fun environment. The WESCO United Rec season runs from August-October each year in Sebastopol and the surrounding towns.
