Joppatowne Rec. Soccer Program Philosophy:

The development of a soccer player is a lengthy process in which the player's progress gradually moves from a simple to a more complex level of involvement in the game. This progression requires proper guidance and direction from quality, knowledgeable coaches. This process cannot be rushed, but players should always compete at a level that is both challenging and demanding.

The JRS Soccer Program is for ages 3-15. JRS uses the USSF Age Matrix to determine eligibility for each division.
