U6-U19 - Youth Recreational Soccer

Our Recreational Program is available for whoever wants to play; there are no tryouts or prerequisites. Registration will continue as long as there is space available on a team for your child and coaches can be secured. You are encouraged to register as early as possible.  At the younger ages we try to place children from the same school together on teams so that they will know their teammates and see them on a regular basis. We try to keep players together on the same team each year. In the upper age groups, as our number of players starts to decline, we try to keep the number of players balanced across teams to make them all competitive. As the children get older, the number of players on a team increases as they begin playing on larger fields and play longer games.

U6-U19 - Competitive Soccer

Fair Oaks Soccer Club believes in the benefits of character development through sport, whether that sport be individual or a team effort. For those soccer players who wish to move in to a higher level of play, FOSC recommends contacting the American River Futbol Club (ARFC). Both FOSC and ARFC are members of U.S. Club Soccer, and the membership allows for transition between recreational and competitive play. Competitive play occurs year round while recreational soccer is a fall activity. 

A note for those players who play competitive soccer, FOSC does not support concurrent registration and/or play in both recreational and competitive soccer. FOSC players are free to transition to competitive play in the spring and return to recreational soccer in the fall. Those players in possession of competitive player passes in the fall are not allowed to participate in recreational soccer. Players registered in both recreational soccer and competitive soccer in the fall season will be removed from the FOSC roster, and the player will forfeit registration fees. For players in U10 or U12 age groups, the Three Bridges Soccer Group specifically restricts concurrent registration.

If you have questions or comments, please contact the FOSC president via email at president@fairoakssoccer.org

I would like to coach my child's team!

FOSC has coaching opportunities

If you wish to coach for FOSC, please contact our Coach Registrar. FOSC will provide you with more information about our program.  You do not need any special qualifications or experience to coach a recreational team.  FOSC holds a coaching clinic before the season begins, typically at the end of July.  The coaching clinic will teach you how to coach a youth soccer team, offer suggestions for practice drills, and suggest techniques that you may use for your own practices.  

Info on Uniforms and Equipment

For our 2023 season, uniforms can be purchased at Soccer Pro in Fair Oaks for our U10-U19 players.  Players will be permitted to use last year's uniforms for the 2023 season. Uniforms will be available for purchase at Soccer Pro in late July or early August. Please check back here for updates. 

*U6-U8 player jerseys are included in the registration fee.  Jersey distrubution information for U6-U8 will be available soon.

In addition to jerseys, ALL players will need the following:

Black Shorts: Black shorts are available at Soccer Pro but can be purchased at any store. 

Shin guards:  For the Littles, shin guards that are inserted into a sleeve are adequate. For U10 and above, FOSC encourages players to use more substantial shin guards to reduce the potential for injury. 

Socks:  Soccer socks are commonly referred to as "OVER THE CALF" and extend up to just below the player's knee. The sock covers the shin guard. Shin guards are not allowed to be exposed during game play.  

Some goal keepers wear socks that extend above the knee. The extra length is useful to protect against scrapes during game play. Some defenders also choose to wear such socks. 

Balls:  Each player must purchase his/her own soccer ball to bring to practice and for practicing at home.  The ball does not have to cost a fortune, a ball can be purchased starting at around $8 to $10. Your Coach and Club will have balls available for game play. 

Soccer Ball Sizes

• U6 & U8 = size 3
• U10 & U12 = size 4
• U14 & above = size 5
