Our programs

Four pathways, from first touch to college recruitment.

🧒

Little Kickers · Ages 4–6

A 45-minute weekly session focused on coordination, listening, and having fun with a ball. No games, no scores, no pressure. Parents stay on the sideline and are welcome to join in.

Recreational League · Ages 7–14

One practice and one game per week during a 10-week season. Balanced teams, equal playing time guaranteed for every registered player, and a focus on fundamentals.

🏆

Competitive Select · Ages 9–18

Tryout-based teams competing in the North Texas Soccer league. Two practices and one match weekly, plus regional tournaments. Higher commitment and higher cost.

🎯

Skills Academy · Ages 8–18

Small-group technical training that runs alongside any team. Sessions focus on first touch, finishing, passing under pressure, and goalkeeping. Book by the block.

Full program details

Why families choose us

Licensed coaching

Every head coach holds a USSF or United Soccer Coaches licence at grade D or above, and all staff complete SafeSport training annually.

Safety first

All coaches and volunteers pass a national criminal background check before contact with players. Concussion and heat-illness protocols are published and followed.

No hidden fees

The fee you see covers the full season including uniform and league registration. Tournament travel is optional and quoted separately in advance.

Financial assistance

We set aside scholarship places every season for families who need them. The application is short, confidential, and reviewed within a week.

Small groups

We cap training groups at eight players per coach so nobody spends the session standing in a queue waiting for a turn.

Real communication

Schedule changes and weather cancellations go out by text and email at least two hours before session start wherever possible.

Common questions

Completely. A large share of our recreational players start with no experience at all. Coaches group players by age and ability so beginners are never thrown in with experienced teams. Little Kickers and Recreational League are both designed as entry points.

Shin guards, soccer socks that cover the guards, athletic shorts, cleats or trainers, and a water bottle. The jersey is included in your registration fee. We keep a small loaner supply of cleats and guards for families who need them — just ask, no questions.

Yes. We offer a full refund up to 14 days before the season starts, and a partial refund on a sliding scale after that. Full details are on our Refund Policy page.

We cancel for lightning within 10 miles, heat index above 105°F, or unsafe field conditions. Notice goes out by text and email. Cancelled sessions are made up at the end of the season where the calendar allows.

We do. Scholarship places covering 50% or 100% of registration are available each season. Email info@denisonsoccer.com and we will send the form. Applications are confidential and never discussed with coaches or other families.

Recreational teams are balanced by age and are assigned by our registrar — we honour carpool requests where we can but cannot guarantee specific team placements. Competitive Select teams are formed through open tryouts held each May and December.

Safety & Compliance

Club-wide standards

SafeSport trained staff, published concussion protocol, certified first-aiders at every session, and a two-adult rule — no coach is ever alone with a player.

Volunteer with us

Recreational teams are led by trained parent volunteers supported by our licensed staff. We provide the coaching course, the session plans, and the background check at no cost to you. No playing experience is required — willingness matters far more.

Ask about volunteering

Staff names, licences, and biographies shown here are placeholders. Replace them with your actual coaching staff before publishing — misrepresenting credentials is both a Google Ads policy violation and a serious trust issue with parents.
