Soccer Program Specifics

ACTIVSTARS takes pride in offering the most affordable programs and events in the industry! In fact, our event prices are less than half of the industry standard!

Even though our events are not required, our exciting tournaments motivate our athletes to reach the next level of excellence beyond their regular weekly lessons.

Throughout our 30-year history, testimonials have shown how our athletes' lives have forever changed from the improved self-confidence and friendships gained by competing.  We hope to keep this positive tradition going to impact future generations to come.

 

Program Details

Program Structure: ACTIVSTARS Soccer program is designed to work with your child's schedule and the hustle and bustle of daily life. So, our practices and games are held on Saturdays.  The first part of the semester will be dedicated to skill development with the second part of the semester dedicated to games.

PRACTICE TIMES:  Specific Team practice times will be assigned during orientation.  Teams are split according to age & ability.  If the practice time assigned to your child is inconvenient, or you have two children accidentally split into different practices, please see your coach for approval to attend a different practice time.  Each class is 50 minutes long.  Please arrive 10-minutes early each week for check-in!

RESTROOMS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT SOCCER SITES: Have Players use the restroom prior to coming to practice.

 

Soccer Gear

ACTIVSTARS merchandise is purchased at wholesale prices, and the savings are passed on to you.  All merchandise is ONLY available for purchase online at www.activstars.com.  We appreciate your support!

PROPER GEAR:  Players are required to bring a soccer ball and shin guards starting week one. Players need to mark their soccer ball with their name.  These items are available to purchase directly from our website at activstars.com or players may bring their own. Players are required to purchase a practice pinnie priced at $10.00.  Soccer cleats are highly recommended.

Players are required to bring their own water to practice every week.   ACTIVSTARS has a water bottle available for $7 that can be purchased here!  Please put the child's First and last name on water bottles brought to practice.

 

Soccer Games & Tournaments

SOCCER GAMES: Once the game series begins mid-semester, all games will be held at a centralized off-site location where several teams will meet to play in an exciting tournament-style atmosphere.  Game schedules will be handed out prior to the start of games with all the details! Game times may vary from assigned practice times, and games often last 50 minutes. Please allow extra time on game days, especially our awards day, at the end of the semester. All players will receive a game trophy during their last scheduled game.

 TOURNAMENTS:  During the fall and spring semesters, we run a competitive Regional and State Desert Cup Soccer Tournament (AZ) for players.  Teams are bracketed into silver and gold divisions based on team skill level, so we encourage all players and teams to attend!  During Regionals, our top teams in each division will qualify for the Desert Cup State Playoffs.  All players will receive an award for competing at our tournaments.

The Regional Tournament registration fee is $40/plater (pre-reg.) OR $60 (late registration).  The State Tournament registration fee is $25/player (pre-reg.) OR $30 (late registration).  All details go out to students in an event handout.
