Intercounty Soccer

Intercounty Soccer

Intercounty Program  
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: 

 

Berkeley Heights Mountainside Springfield
Colonia New Providence Summit
Cranford Plainfield Union
Garwood Rahway Westfield
Kenilworth Roselle  
Maplewood / S. Orange Scotch Plains  

 

The goals of the intercounty programs are the same as the in-town recreation program:

 

  Provide an environment for a fun, positive and
  memorable experience through the game of soccer
  Continue to enhance the player’s soccer skills within a
  recreational environment
  Foster a sense of teamwork, dedication, competition
  and sportmanship
  Experience personal and team success and let down
  Develop a life-long love for the game

 

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.
