New players must be registered by February 22nd in order to be evaluated for the spring season.

Loudoun Soccer is offering enrollment in a Challenge division for U9, U10 players. The Challenge division is a recreational program. The Challenge league is intended for those children more seriously focused on soccer, and for players (and parents) who are willing to make a stronger commitment to prioritizing development above the social aspects of youth soccer. This program is not recommended for the new soccer player. The primary differences between the Recreation and Challenge divisions are the level of play and the distances to travel for away games

Each new player must attend an evaluation in order to be placed on a Challenge division team. There will be several evaluation dates that you can choose from each season. The purpose of the evaluation session is to assess player abilities so that balanced teams can be formed. The Challenge division will only be an option for players who register by the deadline because the evaluation sessions start very soon after that date. The Recreation division will still be available for players who sign up after that date (until all teams are full). 

Challenge League Commitment/Requirements: 

Please take note when registering for our Challenge league, the registered player will be REQUIRED to undergo a skills evaluation. The information obtained at this evaluation will be used to place players equally among the teams. As such, No Special Requests will be honored. Switching among teams, once placed, will NOT be accommodated. Players who register for the Challenge League, but cannot attend the scheduled practices each week on their assigned Challenge team (due to a conflict) will NOT be re-assigned to another Challenge team. Instead, that player will be re-assigned to a Recreational level team. 

All players who register for the Challenge division will be placed on teams assuming there are enough other players in their town/region to form optimally sized teams. It is expected that teams will be formed in Ashburn, Leesburg, South Riding and Purcellville. If teams are full in the local town of play the player may be placed on a team outside of the requested town of play.  Teams will be scheduled to play inter-regional games, though travel distances will be minimized as much as possible. 

The  U9, U10,format will be the same for Challenge Division players as it is for recreation division players. The primary differences between the Recreation and Challenge divisions are the level of play and the distances to travel for away games.
