GCAA Recreation Soccer
GCAA Recreation Soccer offers programs for kids aged 3-18. The 4U thru 8U age divisions are co-ed teams, have group practices once a week for approximately one hour, and has games on Saturdays that are refereed by coaches. Please note the the 4U age division does not have Saturday games.
The 10U, 12U, 14U, and 18U ages divisions are typically boy or girl teams, but can be co-ed if we do not have enough players to make separate teams. They practice once a week, and have games on Saturdays that are refereed by certified referees. The 10U thru 18U age divisions can require some local travel.

4U-8U Division
This division is the building blocks for soccer moving forward. Upon completing this program children have an option to tryout for the Academy Soccer Program at 10U, the  Travel Soccer Program at 12U and up, or to remain in the Recreation Soccer Program. With the exception of 4U which has no games, all levels in the 6U and 8U will have one practice and one Saturday game a week. Practices have an experienced coach that plans the practices and helps new coaches acclimate to coaching. The games are four 10 minute quarters with two minutes between quarters and 5 minute halftime. The a coach from each team will be on the field and will referee the games. The focus at this level is mainly having fun, learning rules, and the very basics of soccer.

10U - 18U Divisions
These divisions have one practice game a week and one game on Saturdays. GCAA makes their best attempt to accommodate practice day requests but ultimately are bound to the days the volunteer coaches are available. At these age groups you can expect to have some away games in Johnston County and South Wake County especially in the girls divisions. This division also introduces non-partial paid referees, but scores and standings are not kept.
