Youth Programs

All-Star Teams are formed based on the available numbers, proactiveness of volunteer coaches, and the desire by players and parents to field competitive teams. Reach out to the Youth Recreation Supervisor if a Team is desired to be formed and put together.

All-Star Team Rosters are formed purely by recommendation in collaboration with the Youth Recreation Supervisor and the regular season Head Coaches of the age eligible players for each All-Star age level. Tryouts will no longer be held - it is our belief that a singular tryout may not accurately portray a players capability and that a more aggregate season-long view is most representative and appropriate. The Teams formed will compete in 1 to 3 local All-Star Tournaments in the June/July timeframe while periodically holding practices. If numbers and interest allow, multiple teams at an age level may be formed and can enter tournaments in A, B, or C divisions.

* A Summer Soccer Camp is planned to be held in mid-July at River Park. Details and Registration Sign-ups will be available as it gets closer.

Soccer games will be played on weeknights and some Saturdays. Teams will begin practice in August prior to school starting with games to start shortly after the school year begins. Practices and home games are played at River Park. U12 games are 100% played under the lights!

The Town of Kirkwood will support any age division and girls or boys team who has the numbers and desire to compete in the Broome County Soccer Association Fall League. The season is typically 8 games with 4 home and 4 away. Games are on Saturdays and Sundays, with away games that could be somewhat local, but as far away as Corning, Ithaca, Cortland, or Oneonta. This season would line up in parallel and be in addition to the standard recreational Soccer League above.

Basketball games and practices will be throughout the week and on Saturdays. Practices will be at the Bell Elementary Gym. Games are played relatively locally with other teams in the league both home and away. There are opportunities to enter more competitive leagues as well at the conclusion of the recreational season, dependent on numbers and desire from players and coaches.

The Town of Kirkwood will support any age division and girls or boys team who has the numbers and desire to continue to compete in Soccer Indoors throughout the Winter. The Season is broken into (2) Sessions that are typically 10 Games each, and is played at 434 Sportsplex in Vestal, NY with games on the weekends. Practices are dependent on commitment level of the team and in some cases funding availability.
