Fall Core Program 2025 – Recreational Soccer

A Fun & Developmental Soccer Experience


PHMSA’s Fall Core Program is a recreational soccer league open to players of all skill levels. Kids learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and soccer fundamentals in a fun, family-friendly environment.


Program Details for 6U and Older:

  • Ages: Open to players born between 2007 and 2020. (see age chart below)
  • Season Dates: Registration opens in April, and teams are formed in July. Practices begin in early August, with the season running through early to mid-November.

  • Practices & Games: Practices are held twice a week (midweek and weekend) until weekend games begin, then typically shift to once a week (midweek) for the rest of the season, depending on coach and field availability. Inter-league games for 12U and older begin in mid-August, with all games running from September to early to mid-November.
  • Game Locations: Most games are in Pleasant Hill and Martinez. 12U and older teams play inter-league games with neighboring regions, which may include travel to Concord, Clayton, and Rio Vista.
  • Team Points Program & Volunteering: This program is entirely volunteer-run, and we rely on parents and community members to help make it a success. Volunteering as a coach, referee, or in other key roles helps ensure a great season for all players and contributes to your child’s team earning the points as part of the Team Points Program. 10U+ teams must accumulate these points throughout the season to qualify for our PHMSA Cup. You can sign up to volunteer during registration.

Program Details for Playground and SchoolYard:

  • Ages: Open to players born in 2021 - SchoolYard and 2022 - Playground. (see age chart below)
  • Practices: This program is run by trained coaches. Ten weekly weekend sessions begin in early September, with the field location finalized in mid-August. Your child will be provided a t-shirt at their first scheduled training session.
