Recreation

We’re excited about your interest in our club and the valuable opportunities it offers for both your family and young athletes. Our soccer program combines comprehensive skill development with competitive gameplay, promoting both individual growth and team collaboration for players from U5 to U16.


Our dedicated volunteer coaches are committed to creating a safe, enjoyable environment where children can be introduced to the sport. Many of our recreational players begin with little to no prior experience, so there’s no need for concern—our program is designed to meet each athlete at their current skill level and support steady progress in a positive, encouraging atmosphere.


Team assignments are determined based on the number of players within each age group, while also considering location, friend requests, and skill levels. Coaches may adjust team rosters during the season to ensure the best developmental experience for all players.

Recreation Overview

The season registration cost is $150. Registration after deadline will be on a wait list and an additional $25.


The season will have 8 games scheduled and 6 games guaranteed.


Games are typically on Saturdays, with practice times and dates determined by the coach.

Refund Policy

Refunds will not be provided to individuals who violate the rules or policies of Wilson United SC. Refunds are available until the start of the recreational season, which is defined by the date of the first kick-off meeting (either in Lebanon or MJ). No refunds will be issued after this point.

Team Coaches

All teams are coached by parent volunteers. No previous experience is necessary and Wilson United Soccer Club will provide each coach with administrative support and guidance on coaching young players.


Tennessee State Soccer Association requires a background check, Safe Sport, and concussion protocol. 

Forming Teams

All registered players are assigned to a team for the season. A player is only allowed to be rostered on one team per season.


Players will be assigned to a team in their age group based on a combination of factors, including the school they attend, where they live and any special requests submitted during registration.
