How Long is the Rec Soccer Season?
We offer two opportunities to play Recreational soccer. We have a fall season that begins after Labor Day and a spring season that begins in April. Each season includes six weeks of games on Sundays. We also have Futsal during the winter months at the Montana Surf Indoor Soccer Center.
How Are Teams Formed?
Teams are formed through a few different steps. First players are put into divisions trying to keep them single-gender and single age groups. If that doesn’t work we will combine ages until we have enough players for a few teams. Then we look at the Quadrants, which is that area selected in registration, and try to place teams in similar regions/quadrants. If there aren’t enough players in a quadrant we will combine some, and then finally review requests.
Is There a Discount for Coaching?
Yes, a $100 voucher will be sent to coaches to use in registering for the next season. Please email Joel Harris, Youth Academy Director, at academydirector@montanasurf.org if you’re interested in coaching.
Can the Coaching Voucher Be Used for Montana Surf Academy Program?
Yes, you can use your $100 credit in registering for our Academy Program.
When and Where are Games Played?
Games are on Sundays, Sept. 10th through October 22nd at Bozeman Sports Park. No games on September 17th.
Where Are Practices Held?
Our wonderful volunteer coaches determine the day(s), time and locations for their team practices. Your coach will reach out to communicate that information. Additional weekly pro sessions (for skill development) run 9/13 -10/11.
How Do I Purchase Uniforms?
