Intercounty Soccer
Intercounty Soccer
Coordinator: Carlos Oliviera
The Clark Soccer Club Intercounty program is intended for players who are interested
in playing recreational soccer beyond the in-town program. The program starts at the 6th grade level and continues through grade 11.
The program provides the opportunity to play recreational soccer against teams in nearby towns who, like Clark, participate in the
Intercounty Youth Soccer League (IYSL). The IYSL consists of teams from the following towns throughout Union County:
The goals of the intercounty programs are the same as the in-town recreation program:
Intercounty teams participate in both the spring and fall soccer season. All teams are managed and coached by volunteers of the soccer club.
Teams usually practice one day per week but they can practice more often depending on the discretion of the coaches. There is usually one game per week on
either Saturday or Sunday but at times games will be played mid-week.
Teams are formed in the fall and spring depending on the number of registered player. No try-outs are required.
Teams can be established based on gender or can be co-ed. Typically, teams are grouped into the U12, U14 and U17 age categories. Age qualification
is dependent on the player’s age as of August 1st of a given year. As such, any player who does not turn 14 before August 1 will be U-14. A player
who is older but does not turn 17 before August 1 will be U-17. Players who are in grades 5 and 6 are typically U-12; grades 7 and 8 are U-14 and
grades 9, 10 and 11 are U-17.
Anyone interested in the Intercounty recreational program can register through the same means as the in-town program. Registration typically takes
place during the summer months for the fall season and during December and January for the Spring season. Details can be found at the top of the page
by following the “Registration” link.
