About Rec All-Stars
Loudoun Soccer players in its Recreation and Challenge programs are invited to tryout for All-Star teams. Players will participate in a series of activities and tests for coaches to evaluate and best select players. The goal is to form at least one team per age group and gender. Multiple teams may be formed in each age group based on interest, ability and coach availability. An All-Star tournament will take place on November 19th and 20th in Northern Virginia.
