Lonestar Recreational Soccer

Lonestar Recreational soccer is a fun and enjoyable soccer program for all soccer players with over 2,250 players participating across Austin and Central Texas. We incorporate social interaction, motor skill and technical development through games and exercises.

We provide a full-service recreational soccer experience including season administration (player registration, team formation, league scheduling), referees, practice space, and game equipment. All soccer players in the Lonestar SC Recreational program receive uniforms in the fall season (only new players receive uniforms in the spring), medals, player evaluation opportunities (U5-U10), and supplemental player's insurance. All coaches in the Lonestar SC Recreational soccer program are parent volunteers.

Recreational Policies

- All teams will be formed on a first come first serve basis.
- The number of player registrations at each location will determine the combination of age groups and if the league is coed.
- No heading for any players 12 years old or younger. For more information on the no heading policy, click here.
- No punting (incl. drop-kicks) for any players 12 years old or younger - this is a developmental approach and safety concern to reduce the risk of concussions and other potential injuries.

Developmental Training

The Developmental Training Program is designed for player development through advanced coaching within a team setting. The program is 5 weeks of supplemental practices (in addition to regularly scheduled recreational practices) that take place within the Jr. Academy or Select Programs (depending on age group).

The Developmental Training program is optional and costs an additional $50 for all U5-U15 players. Every player receives a Developmental Training T-shirt. Fall Developmental Training begins in October, Spring Developmental Training begins in March. For information, please contact the Site Coordinator nearest you.
