What can I expect to get out of the Recreation program?

Beach FC's Recreation program puts the emphasis on friendship, sportsmanship, and lays the foundation for the overall physical literacy of each athlete. We take pride in helping our players and coaches develop their skills through a fun and positive experience.

Where do we play and where do we practice?

Through the City of Virginia Beach and the City of Norfolk, our recreation program is allocated use of fields at elementary schools as practice sites. Practices are typically 1 to 2 times per week depending on the age level and/or the availability of the volunteer coach.

Each Saturday, we build our own soccer city for ages 3 through 11 at Williams Farm Park ( 5269 Learning Cir, Virginia Beach, VA 23462). For our Middle School and High School teams, games will be played at the Hampton Roads Soccer Complex (2276 Recreation Dr, Virginia Beach, VA 23456).
