Recreational soccer. Just done right.
Most rec leagues mean changing fields, rained-out games, and standing around. Rec+ keeps the fun of rec but adds weekly training, positive coaching oversight, and small-sided festival play so kids get more touches and build confidence faster.
Training + Games
Thursday training (5:30–6:30 PM) plus Sunday games (2:00–3:00 PM). Real development between game days, every week of the season.
Professional Coaching
Every Rec+ session has professional coaching support. Volunteer coaches are backed by SFA’s professional staff — never alone, never winging it.
Indoor. Year-Round.
Climate-controlled facility at SFA Training Center | Bexley. No weather cancellations. No field hopping. Same time, same place, every week.
Soccer is supposed to be fun. It’s also supposed to fit your life. Rec+ is what happens when you stop pretending those are different things. — SFA Player-First Philosophy

See Pricing →Loved by local families.
Here’s what Rec+ parents across Central Ohio tell us — real coaching, real skills, real progress.
“My son received wonderful coaching and learned a lot of technical skills and strategies he would not have learned in his local rec league. He has really progressed!”
“Excellent way to develop soccer skills without the need to join a club at a young age.”
Three ages. One festival format.
Fall 2026 Rec+ welcomes U6, U7, and U8 — same small-sided festival format, now with an expanded age range and weekly training built into every season.
Indoor + consistent. Same place every week at SFA Training Center | Bexley — no rainouts, no field hopping.
Parent-friendly lounge. Watch comfortably with Wi-Fi, seating, and a warm indoor space.
Small-sided festival games. More touches, more confidence — perfect for early players.
Equal participation. Every player plays, learns, and feels included — every week.
Mini
Fall in love with the ball.
- All pods play at once in simultaneous 3v3 games
- No goalkeepers — every player is attacker and defender
- Rolling subs and equal play across every pod
Why it works: More touches per minute. More scoring chances. Kids stay in the action instead of standing around waiting for a turn.
Register U6 Mini →Mini
First taste of the real game.
- Two simultaneous games per matchup — 4v4 (3v3 + GK)
- Short goalkeeper shifts so every player gets a turn
- Rolling subs and pod rotations to keep everyone moving
Why it works: Players get their first taste of structured roles — including keeper — without the pressure of a full 7v7 game. Equal play stays the priority.
Register U7 Mini →Mini+
Bigger game, more decisions.
- Step up to 5v5 — more space, more passing, more decisions
- Rotating goalkeeper so every player learns the position
- Rolling subs and equal play across every pod
Why it works: A natural bridge from mini games toward the full-sided game — players build spatial awareness and teamwork while equal play stays the priority.

Parents ask us this most.
Straight answers — no marketing fluff. If something’s not here, just call us.
What does a typical week look like?
Two touchpoints a week. Thursday training (5:30–6:30 PM) to build skills, then a Sunday game (2:00–3:00 PM) to put them into play.
Both are held indoors at SFA Training Center | Bexley — same time slots all season, so you can plan around them.

Sibling discount: $25 off each additional child, applied automatically at checkout.
When does the season run and when does registration close?
The Fall season runs Sep 7 – Oct 25, 2026 (7 weeks). Training is Thursdays 5:30–6:30 PM; games are Sundays 2:00–3:00 PM, both at SFA Training Center | Bexley.
Registration closes Sunday, August 23, 2026. Rosters are capped, so earlier is better — if spots remain after the deadline, call us at (614) 300-0016.
Is Rec+ a “real” league? Standings? Trophies?
Rec+ is a festival-style league — real training, real games, real coaching — but for our younger players (U6–U8) we keep it low-pressure: no formal standings, no trophies for the “top team,” and every player plays every week.
The season closes with an end-of-season festival celebration and a medal for every player. At this age the goal is confidence, ball mastery, and falling in love with the game — not a league table.
My child has never played before. Is Rec+ right for them?
Absolutely. Fall 2026 Rec+ is built for U6, U7, and U8 — including total beginners. The small-sided festival format is designed to introduce kids to soccer in a fun, pressure-free environment with weekly training and professional coaching support.
For older first-time players (U9+), our Weekly Academy Training is a better fit — same facility, same coaching, structured skill development in 4-week cycles.
What’s the player-to-coach ratio?
Rec+ sessions run with a 12:1 player-to-coach ratio max — the same standard we hold across all SFA programs. Every player gets real coaching time, not just whoever raises their hand loudest.
Can my child request to play with a friend?
Yes. Friend requests are honored whenever possible. We balance pods by age first (U6 with U6, U7 with U7, U8 with U8), but we’ll do our best to keep buddies together within the same age group. Add friend requests during registration.
What if we need to miss a training or game?
No penalties — life happens. Just let your coach know in advance. We don’t do refunds for missed weeks (it’s a flat season fee), but we do everything we can to keep you informed of schedule changes.
What do I need to bring? Is the uniform required?
Bring: indoor turf shoes or flats (no cleats), shin guards, water bottle.
We provide: all soccer balls and access to the SFA facility.
Uniform kit ($40): required for new players. One-time purchase — jersey, shorts, socks — reusable for every future Rec+ season. Returning players who already own an SFA kit skip this charge.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes. $25 off each additional sibling, automatically applied at checkout. Sign all your players up in one transaction to claim it.
