Collierville Recreational Soccer Program

2021 Spring Season

The Collierville Soccer Association Rec program is the only one of its kind in Collierville, offering both spring and fall soccer for ages 3 - 18. The spring season started on March 6 and lasts eight weeks. If you are interested in joining the program even if the season has already started, please reach out Wes Mims, Director of Recreational Development at [email protected], he will discuss options with you. Recreational soccer is where the love for soccer begins! 

In addition to the Collierville Rec Program, we also have Rec Instructional programs at Christian Brothers High School and Briarcrest. See our recreational locations page for more information.

What are the players’ ages and who coaches them?
Players are randomly assigned to age-specific teams starting at age 3 through U19 Co-ed. Parent volunteers coach all teams. Parents who volunteer as head coaches receive a $40 discount after attending Coach Clinic. Professionally run skills clinics are also available for every player in the program each season.

Wes Mims, Director of Recreational Development, will decide on each division's format based on the number of registrants and any restrictions before the season starts. Possible modifications to the season include (but are not limited to) combining age groups, creating co-ed divisions, playing small-sided games, staff-led practices, and mid-week games. If you have any questions,
