Spring 2025 Game Schedules

Spectators are not allowed on the same side of the field as players or between "A" and "B" fields.

St. Mary's Soccer offers academy-style training to better focus on player development, so all players receive consistent skill training each week. Coaches are provided a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate. The U06/U07/U08 academies offer separate boys' and girls' divisions. Training is led by volunteer coaches with assistance from a site coordinator. Coaches are always needed and can register through the website.

Academy players may select Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night as their preferred training night. Games are typically held on Saturdays. There may be an occasional Friday evening game.

Age groups are determined by calendar year of birth. Groups reset each fall season and run through the next spring. "Playing up" to an older age group is not allowed. Please keep these details in mind when expecting school classmates to be in the same age group. They often are not.

Spring 2025 Age Groups:

U06 — 2019 birthdays

U07 — 2018 birthdays

U08 — 2017 birthdays

Academy training sessions are held in two locations to better serve our county. Chaptico Park (field #2) is the academy practice location for the north area of the county, and Chancellors Run Regional Park (field #2) is the academy practice location for the south/central area of the county.
