Fall Season 2023 Game Schedule Info
Fall 2023 schedules were posted Friday, 9/15/2023.
ADDITIONAL GAME INFORMATION FOR U09 AND OLDER TEAMS
Please look at the full schedule for your age group, not just your team’s schedule. You will see some games at the end of the season that do not have team names. These are the “round 2” games and the “final game day” games.
For example: in U09 Boys — teams will play one round of games (5 games for each team). Then they will be set by point standings into the round 2 games on 10/28. Then they will be set by point standings again for the final games on the last day.
The exact game times for the round 2 and final game day games may change.
Games Played at Riverside Soccer Complex
All REC games are played at the Riverside Soccer Complex. You can find information about the complex, including field maps and frequently asked questions, by clicking the button below.
