Decatur County Soccer Club offers both Spring and Fall recreational soccer programs. 

We encourage and depend on parents to volunteer to coach or assistant coach. Prior coaching experience and soccer knowledge is not required. Coaching resources can be found on our website as well as online from many resources. We encourage you to reach out to the board or other coaches if you have any questions.

Players must register by birth year. Please review the Age Division chart for divisions based on birth year.

The Spring soccer season typically occurs April/May and the Fall season August/September.

Practice and game schedules will be posted once teams are assigned after the close of registration. Practice and game schedules are based on coach and field availability. Due to this the schedules are not known until just prior to the season. Field locations are subject to change based on availability. .
