How do I know which program to register my player for? When deciding whether to register your play for the Recreational program or the Developmental Rec program, please consider your player’s long-term interests. If you believe that your player is interested in playing with a higher level commitment under the direction of Skyline Staff during 5 training sessions in addition to the weekly team practice, then take a strong look at the Developmental Rec program. If your player is interested in the fun, social aspect of soccer, the Recreational program is more likely the right program. Either way, players are able to change programs during their soccer career (although players are not allowed to change programs during the season).

The main difference between Recreational and Developmental Rec is that a Skyline coach works with the team on team concepts, team formation, team positioning and team building. To make the team the focal point and work as a team for game day preparations. There will still be technical development involved in every session but more working as a team to build players confidence.

When will I find out what team my child is on? In the fall season, this information will be emailed to your during the second week of August. In the spring season, you will be notified during the second week of March. You will be notified of your coach’s name and practice day, time, and location. Timing of the announcement is dependent on when a volunteer coach is confirmed.

When will practices begin? Skyline receives park permits from DPR each season. Practices will begin two weeks prior to the first game. Please check the ‘Important Dates’ tab for specific dates.

When will the game schedule be released? The 6U-8U games are played against other Skyline teams. Please check the ‘Important Dates’ tab for specific dates which will be updated each season.

Where are games played? 8U games will be played at Southmoor Park unless otherwise notified.

How many games will we have per season?  Each age group will have 8 games per season.

Can my child play up and age group? At Skyline, we do have a few players who ‘play up.’ but these players are the exception. All players who play up need approval from the Director of Coaching. When determining whether a player is ready to play up, the player must be ready soccer-wise, physically, and socially. We will not have players play up more than one age group.

How do we know if a game or practice has been rained out? Please check the Skyline Field Status on our homepage or call the weather line at 720.317.2882. During the week, the weather line is updated by 3:00pm weekdays and by 7:30am on weekends.

What if my child does not get placed on a team? You will receive a full refund.

The Developmental Rec program is a pathway for recreational players and teams U8-U12, looking for more player and team development and exposure to a more competitive environment. The Developmental Rec programs allows teams and players the benefit of staying on a team with friends, but adds in a weekly developmental training session with Skyline Staff coaching. The staff coach trains the entire team once a week and focuses on Technical and Tactical training to further develop each player and the team as a whole. This is a great blend of recreational players and teams becoming more competitive players.

Skyline continues to have Recreational and Competitive programs, but saw a need for the in between. The Developmental Rec  program has the benefits of recreational with the staff training to become more competitive. This program is offered for players U8-U12.

Teams are recreational with a desire to become more developed and competitive.

• Teams receive 5 training sessions with a Skyline Staff coach for practice.
• Skyline staff coach will work closely with team coach to assist team coach with team and player development
• 8U Developmental Rec teams will play in house against other Skyline 8U Developmental Rec teams
• Staff training makes sure recreational players aren’t falling behind in their development and prepares them for later competitive and High School teams.
• Season runs the same as recreational, Fall and Spring.
