seasonal information
Salvo SC and TRAA offer fall, winter, and spring Recreation soccer sessions.
Our Warriors Soccer program is offered in the fall and brings high-quality, fun, and competitive community soccer experiences to grades pre-K to 6. It meets two or three times per week, depending on age group, for practices and scrimmages. Find out more about fall program details and schedules by visiting the TRAA website!
Our winter program offers three 6-week sessions that meet once per week. Players focus on soccer fundamentals at these sessions, like dribbling, passing, receiving, 1v1 techniques, and gameplay with our qualified staff. Sign up for one, two, or all of the winter sessions!
During the spring session, all age groups meet twice per week in a challenging but fun environment that aims to meet players and coaches where they are in their development. At the U5 and U6 levels, the players spend 30 minutes training and 30 minutes scrimmaging. For all other age groups, one session per week is for training, and the other is for a game.
*All age groups have the potential to be gender-specific or co-ed depending on final registration numbers.*
