Recreational Soccer is V/F United's non-competitive program. The emphasis of this program is learning
and enjoying the game of soccer while having fun. There are no tryouts, cuts, scores or
standings in this program and all efforts are made to provide equal playing time to
each player on the team. Children between the ages of 7 and 12 (as of 8/1/08) are eligible
to participate in this program and teams will be divided into two age groups 7-9 and 10-12.
All teams are mixed gender and will only play against teams in the same age group.
This program will meet every Sunday from September 7th to October 26th at 1, 2 or 3 pm at the Racetrack Fields
Registration for this program is open from August 1st to August 22nd. All participants must register online.
V/F United Soccer Club is please to announce their partnership with the Victor Family
Center YMCA for a new and exciting soccer program for our youngest players. This program
is an introduction to the spirit of soccer with emphasis on fun and the building of
individual skills in a fun and safe environment through age appropriate activities.
The program will be led by the YMCA staff with the help of parent volunteers. Children
ages 4-6 (as of 8/1/08) are eligible to participate in this program.
This program will meet each Sunday from September 7th through October 26th from 1:15 to 2:30 pm at the Racetrack Fields.
Registration will be open from August 1st to August 31st.
The cost for this program is $48
Online payment for the 2008-2009 travel soccer season is now open
Travel Soccer is V/F United's competitive soccer program. Travel teams play against
similar age/gender teams from other clubs in the Rochester area (e.g., Pittsford, Fairport,
Greece, Penfield, Webster). Indoor training sessions will start in the late fall and
continue through April. Outdoor training sessions start in early spring with the coach's
discretion on the number of practices per week. Travel teams play 12 RDYSL league games
between mid-May and the end of July and participate in 2 to 3 outdoor tournaments as well.
Travel tryouts will be held on September 6th & 7th and 13th & 14th.
Registration for travel soccer will be open from August 1st through September 14th.
Online registration is required for participation in tryouts.
Our seasons are now in full swing with recreation games having started, most travel teams half way through their
campaigns, and our recreational all star teams having competed in tournaments. All of the planning and practicing
have finally been put to use on the field! As of this writing a few spots still exist for our first summer soccer
camp. Sign up on this page to ensure your child has a spot in what will be a great soccer learning experience!
The club has made many changes this off-season as we prepared for this current season and set the
stage for next year. One of the biggest changes will come this Fall as we partner with the Victor
YMCA to bring a new program for 4-5-6 year olds to our club. This is an exciting step that will serve
as a trial for moving our program for those ages to the YMCA in the summer. As most are aware, finding
volunteers at the youngest ages is our biggest barrier. With an existing staff to help run the program,
the YMCA is well positioned to provide paid staff to recruit volunteers and run portions of the program.
The board has been in discussion for a year on the topic of moving parts of our recreation program to other entities.
The towns of Victor and Farmington are not ready for such a move, so working with the YMCA is a very good option. Stay
tuned for more detailed announcements and sign up information as the summer comes to a close.
We have 3 board positions opening up at the end of this term. In September we will be looking for a new Treasurer,
Recreation Director, and Communications Director. Detailed job descriptions for each of these positions can be found
elsewhere on the web site. The focus for the Recreation Director will be the transitioning
of our programs for the youngest ages to an alternate provider (like the YMCA). We really would love to have someone on board
in time to run our regular Fall program. The Communications Director's main upcoming project will be to make sure our web
site content is as current as possible. In addition, other communications methods will be explored (e.g., newsletters,
advertisements) to raise the club's visibility in the community. Please contact me or any board member if you are interested
in serving in this manner. It is through your efforts that we have a successful soccer program and a healthy outlet for our children.
For those planning ahead, travel tryouts will be held the weekends of 9/6-7 and 9/13-14. More details will be available as
the summer programs come to a close. Let's get this season done before we are planning for the next one! As always, thanks
for all your help and support.
