What's the Difference?

Recreational Gold is an advanced level of Spring game play suited for high performing U8 to U14 Fall Rec teams or individual players that may be planning to move up to a higher level of play in the next Fall season.  JUSA Select fall teams continuing to play Spring will play in the Rec Gold division.  Rec Gold teams will play outside city teams.   

During registration, each parent/guardian will choose the tier they want their player to be placed in for the Spring season.    There are no tryouts for Recreational Gold. The expectation is that players choosing Rec Gold want more of a challenge in Spring and are willing to play at this higher level.    If a player just wants to have fun and play soccer with friends, choose Recreational.   Note that team formation ends, players choosing Recreational Gold will not be moved back onto Recreational teams because they don’t like the coach or the team.  

Both divisions:

  • Practice twice per week on JUSA Anaheim, Placentia or Yorba Linda fields.

  • Are coached by volunteer coaches
