Recreation Program
The Recreation Program is an in-house league for Westbrook kids, ages 3-7. The objective of this program is to introduce the basic of soccer from proper kicking technique through game scenario play to prepare our players for transition to the travel program. The recreation program offers an informal spring clinic session consisting of a weekly 6-week session of basic skill introduction and scrimmage, and the traditional fall house league. The fall league consists of weekend games and one weeknight practice for the older groups.
