For Fall 2023, players born in 2018, 2017, or 2016 are still eligible to play in our ‘In House’ program this fall.
We are happy to be able to offer both programs, so parents & players may choose the one that best fits to continue to play soccer. However, there is a cost and commitment difference between the two programs.
The Recreational program (https://www.arkansasunited.com/programs/recreational) is very similar to your player’s current setup. An eight-week program that is much like the 5v5 ‘In House’ program. The teams are usually coached by volunteer parents. The teams traditionally play eight total games and most teams practice one night per week, some two nights per week based on the coach’s schedule.
The Pre-Competitive Academy - known as PCA - (https://www.arkansasunited.com/programs/pre-competitive-academy) is a twelve-week program that is coached by experienced, club-staffed coaches. These teams practice three nights per week and play 10 to 11 games.
If you would like more information or have questions, please contact Brittany Axford, brittany@arkansasunited.com, PCA Girls Director of Coaching.
Arkansas United's number one goal for both programs is to keep players having fun and developing a love for the game, the ball, and playing soccer as long as they like.
Arkansas United Soccer Club formerly known as Little Rock Futbol Club has been a 501c3 nonprofit youth organization serving our community since 1980. Our principal mission is the promotion of youth soccer. We strive to instill a love for the game in each of our players and to provide an atmosphere where each player may participate and progress according to his or her interest and ability. We take great pride in developing our players as athletes, students and responsible young men and women. Our players form life-long friendships with their club mates, acquire leadership, teamwork and sportsmanship skills that ultimately prepare them for life beyond soccer.
