Arlington Soccer Registration is OPEN!!!
Most STM Students belong to a specific club within the ASA called the "Arlington Kiwanis Club" (managed by STM parent, Cindy Schaller) if there is a team within their age group with room for players.
*Rec Soccer is for children aged Kindergarten through 8th grade. If you do not live in Arlington, you can still play for the ASA; Just select STM as your school.
Previously registered players from the Fall season have until February 11th to get their guaranteed spot on their former team. All new players should register right away, and they will begin to be placed on teams after February 11th. **All teams have max capacity numbers, so there is not a guarantee that a new player will be placed on a team with current STM kids. The season begins April 16 (for 1st grade +) and April 21 (for Kinder).
Parents, this is not an STM volunteer opportunity, but it is a GREAT opportunity to get involved in the community and your children's extracurricular interests, so be sure to volunteer as the ASA is always in need of assistant and head coaches. For the younger ages, soccer experience is not critical.
