Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need soccer experience?

No. EFSA Soccer welcomes beginners as well as returning players. Activities and teams are organized with children’s ages and development in mind.

What equipment does my child need?

Players need shin guards and appropriate athletic shorts/pants. Balls and uniforms are provided. Cleats are optional.

Where do you play?

Games and activities are held at McDevitt Recreation Center, 3531 Scotts Lane in Philadelphia.

When does the league play?

EFSA Soccer generally offers seasonal programming. Exact dates and times are posted before registration opens.

Historically, fall programming is offered on Saturday mornings and spring programming is offered on Sunday mornings, but this is subject to change.

Can I volunteer without coaching experience?

Yes! The league needs help both on and off the field, and many volunteer roles require no soccer experience. EFSA Soccer is also a safe and stress-free environment to try coaching for the first time.

Is financial assistance available?
