Serving Bexley families (and welcoming New Albany players)

Serving Bexley families through the SFA Rec+ program, we offer recreational soccer—fun first, done the right way for U6 & U7 players. Teams are led by supportive parent coaches, with professional coaching oversight that provides age-appropriate training plans, weekly development sessions, and clear guidance—so families get structure and quality in a positive, supportive environment.

We also welcome New Albany families, with all sessions held in a safe, consistent indoor facility where young players can build confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love of the game. Because we’re indoors at SFA, your schedule is reliable—no rainouts and no bouncing between fields. And because we use small-sided, festival-style games, kids are constantly involved instead of waiting for the ball to come to them. That means more dribbling, more chances to try things, more confidence, and (most importantly) more fun.

What makes SFA Rec+ different

Most recreational leagues are fun, but they can feel unpredictable—changing fields, uneven teams, and too much standing around. SFA Rec+ is an indoor youth recreational soccer league in Bexley that keeps the fun of rec while adding consistent scheduling, small-sided play, and positive coaching so kids get more touches and build confidence faster.

Here’s what families notice right away:

Same place every week (no rainouts, no field hopping)

Easy routines for parents, a familiar space for kids, and a consistent experience from Week 1 to Week 8—all indoors at SFA in Bexley. Parents can relax in our observation lounge with Wi‑Fi, comfortable seating, and warmth in bad weather while players are on the field.

Small-sided pods and festival-style games

More touches, more chances to try things, and more confidence with the ball at your feet—because kids are involved in the action instead of standing around.

Professional coaching oversight + weekly planning

Sessions are organized, upbeat, and age-appropriate, with a simple weekly plan that helps players improve without the environment feeling “too serious.”

Equal play + positive coaching

Every child participates, every week—supported by coaches who know how to teach and encourage early players, with an emphasis on effort, confidence, and having fun.

Who it’s for (and what kids get in 8 weeks)

By the end of 8 weeks, players will be more confident on the ball, understand simple game play (spacing, attacking/defending), and be excited to keep playing.

Operationally, that outcome breaks into 3 measurable pillars:

• Confidence + enjoyment: child wants to come back each week
• Ball mastery: better dribbling control, turning, stopping/starting, basic striking
• Game understanding: simple decisions in small-sided games (where to stand, when to pass/dribble, basic defending)

Our promise: Every player will get a positive, organized experience with equal participation, professional coaching, and a clear weekly plan so they improve, build confidence, and keep loving the game.

“Equal play, professional coaching, and visible progress in 8 weeks—guaranteed.“
