Compared to the Spring Season, the Fall season is much shorter, running from late August to mid October and includes three tournaments for the U9-U14. The number of teams formed and the age groups included are based on the level of interest within the club. With the growth of high school 9B (8th-grade teams) in Rochester, the 14U age group is not always an option for the club.
**Players that want training but are at an age group that cannot field a team are still welcome to participate and train with our coaches.

Season Dates:
Starts: Monday August 26th and runs until the weekend of October 12th

Practice Location:
McQuillian Soccer Fields (Previously known as Kepp Fields) - 20th Street SE and Marion Road Intersection Near the Armory
