Who We Serve

  • Children

    Children can get started with indoor and outdoor soccer as early as 5 years old, learning the fundamentals of the game and the values of teamwork. Through the elementary and high school years, there are always opportunities with RCSL to play year-round and access tutoring support to keep up academic performance when needed.

  • Young Adults

    Young adults can continue to grow in the sport they love through RCSL and connect with various employment opportunities through the City of Rochester. Many older players continue to participate in RCSL for years to come as referees, coaches, and volunteers.

  • Parents

    Parents and guardians can feel good knowing that their children are welcomed, accepted, and nurtured as members of RCSL. Players of all abilities receive equal attention and opportunities, and coaches focus on life skills as well as soccer skills.

  • Coaches & Volunteers

    Coaches and volunteers can change lives by giving their time and talent. For many Rochester youth, soccer is an outlet from stress and a pathway to a brighter future. The adults who coach and lead them to become mentors who play an important role in uplifting our entire community.
