Coronado Youth Soccer League Rec Program
Welcome to CYSL Rec Soccer. The mission for the CYSL Recreational Program is to provide the youth of Coronado and surrounding communities with an affordable soccer program that encourages technical development, good sportsmanship, and an atmosphere for having a good time while learning. Our focus is on having fun and improving individual soccer skills. For our volunteers, CYSL Rec offers the opportunity to lead a team in a family oriented environment with the sole focus on the development of our young soccer players ages 4-13 years of age.

The program is designed to give each player the chance to play for the love of the game without the emphasis of high level competition and time commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the CYSL Recreational (Rec) and Coronado FC Competitive programs?
The CYSL recreational program is open to all children ages 4-10 who wish to learn to play soccer, or have played soccer but prefer to play at a recreational level for a 9-10 week season. The Rec program provides a very affordable opportunity to play soccer.
The Coronado FC competitive program is open to children ages 7-19 who try out for and are selected to a team. The Coronado FC competitive coaches are professional, licensed coaches, many of whom played soccer at the collegiate and/or professional levels. The competitive program runs for 8-10 months, and requires a significant commitment (including a financial commitment) on the part of both players and parents.
During what time of year is the Rec Program?
Rec soccer has two seasons – Fall and Spring – each approximately 9 weeks long. The Fall season runs from September to November, and the Spring season runs from March to May.
How are players divided into teams?
Players are assigned to teams by age/ year of birth and skill set with the goal making all teams as evenly matched as possible. CYSL has a Rec Director that organizes our coaches and rosters the teams.
Whenever possible, teams are single gender; however, when there are insufficient numbers to have single gender teams, the league reserves the right to have co-ed teams.
Where are the practices and games?
For the Fall season, all practices and games are at Tidelands Park. U12 teams play in Interleague games, which are a combination of local off-island venues as well as home games at Tidelands.
For the Spring season, all practices and games are at Coronado Cays Park.
Can requests be made to play with a specific coach, friends and/or neighbors?
Requests may be made, but we cannot guarantee any requests.
How much playing time will my child get during games?
The Rec program is an opportunity for all participants to learn about soccer, develop their skills, and have fun. Therefore, coaches will make every effort to ensure each player gets to play at least 50% of each game.
When will my child practice?
Practice days and times are set by the coach in accordance with field availability. Each team will have a minimum of one 60-minute practice session per week during the season.

Teams are coached by a combination of volunteer parents and Coronado FC Coaching staff. All volunteer parent coaches are required to complete online Concussion Training, along with a background/livescan screening.
CYSL Recreational Soccer is committed to teaching youth the fundamentals of the sport. Our staff actively communicates with parents, volunteer coaches, and other area soccer programs to find new and more efficient processes to make CYSL Rec a better program for all. We also provide weekly training clinics, practice session support from the Coronado FC competitive coaching staff, and an opportunity for many players to participate in an All-Star recreational tournament outside Coronado at season end.
As a volunteer coach, you determine your practice schedule and time, and your child is placed on your team.
All coaches receive practice gear for use during the season, including soccer ball bag, soccer balls, practice pennies, cones and a complimentary shirt from CYSL.
If interested in coaching, please email rec@coronadoyouthsoccerleague.com
All volunteer coaches must undergo mandatory background checks through the LIVESCAN program. Coronado FC pays for this service for each volunteer coach. The process requires valid identification, SSN, and fingerprint. If you have already completed LIVESCAN for Coronado FC, then you do not need to complete it a second time. If you have not completed LIVESCAN with Coronado FC, but have completed LIVESCAN with another organization, you still MUST complete LIVESCAN with Coronado FC. No other organization is authorized to release your LIVESCAN results due to privacy laws.Fields
