CURRENT/OPEN REGISTRATIONS
MISSION
Serving the community since 1974, Fallston Soccer is a volunteer run, community-based organization dedicated to providing opportunities for youth of all ages and abilities to develop and grow through participation in athletic competition. We foster a welcoming, enjoyable, safe, and competitive environment to create soccer players with a great love for the game and a greater chance for future success.
We offer opportunities for youth to play at a level that compliments their abilities through a fall program that includes in-house, in-county, and travel leagues. We also offer support to travel players who wish to play year-round soccer.
We believe that soccer is a complimentary sport to a variety of other youth sports and encourage our participants to be multi-sport athletes. We emphasize long-term player development of physical, emotional, and social skills. We believe a positive team sport experience will promote a youth's self-confidence and self-esteem beyond the soccer field.
VISION
Our vision is to be a model grassroots recreational soccer organization in the Maryland area by providing a high-quality soccer experience. We will do this through a well-developed network of volunteers, a dedicated Director of Coaching, regular player training and coaching education opportunities.
Fallston Soccer’s success is not measured in wins and losses, but by our participants many positive experiences both on and off the field.
VALUES
We value a strong work ethic, respect, and responsibility.
We believe all ages and skill levels should have opportunities to develop and grow.
We will treat the soccer community with respect and dignity as put forth in our code of conduct.
We believe that positive reinforcement is paramount. John O’Sullivan’s Changing the Game Project has inspired us to continue to repeat, “I love to watch you play!”
IN-HOUSE
Total cost is $120. Includes jersey, shorts, and soccer socks provided by program.
Registration opens April 1 and close the last day of July. Teams will be formed over the summer, and practice will begin in early August. Many age groups end up on wait lists, so please register early!
Fallston Soccer runs in-house play for kids from ages 4 to 16 for about 900 kids in the Fallston area. The program is designed for kids of all ability levels to provide a fun and educational soccer experience. Please do not let August vacations stop you from signing up! Most teams do not have their full team at practice until school starts.
Practice begins around the second week of August and the program wraps up around the first week of November. All teams will have 1 weeknight practice and 1 game. Clinic, U8 and U10 will play other Fallston teams on Saturday mornings.
The U11, U13 and U16 age groups will play in the Harford County NRSL league with most games on Saturdays but with the possibility of games on various fields in the county.

Travel
Registration cost is $120. Includes 2 jerseys, 2 shorts, and 2 soccer socks provided by program. Additional costs for leagues and tournaments are divided by players evenly and vary per team (typically, $150 - $350 per player). Optional winter/spring costs applied after November.
Fallston Soccer runs travel teams for U8 through the high school ages for about 400 kids in the Fallston area. The program is designed for players looking for additional practice and challenging league play. Our teams play in both the EDP League (U11 and older) and the CMSA League (U8 and older). Coaches choose the appropriate league and level with guidance from the Soccer Board and Director of Coaching.
Practices begin July 1st (with grace for family vacations). Travel teams practice twice per week with one practice typically on Friday. In mid-October, practice schedules change to move to our lighted fields.
Teams typically play an August tournament, a Columbus Day tournament, and the Fallston Cup in November.
Travel parents are asked to assist with our one-day Field Building in July and field building just prior to the Fallston Cups. Travel parents are asked to donate one to two hours of time as field marshals during the Fallston Cups. There are no additional fundraisers for the program.
