Division 1 – (Gr. 3-5)

GCVSA would not function without volunteer coaches for rec soccer. During rec soccer registration, check YES to volunteer.

GCVSA is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. By volunteering or making a financial contribution to support our mission, you help us get more kids out on the soccer fields, making friends and having fun.

Division I teams are single sex 3rd – 5th graders and created by the coaches. 

Late registrations will be placed where there is space on a team. Special requests with a late registration are unlikely to be honored.
