Outdoor Soccer Registration Now Open

Registration for CBJ Parks & Recreation’s 2025 Youth Outdoor Soccer program is now OPEN! Families can sign up online through the Parks & Rec Catalog under the "Youth and Teen" tab. Open to kids ages 5–14, the program runs for eight weeks from July through August and features one-hour practices on weeknights and games on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Leagues include both coed and girls’ divisions, organized by age and area; some divisions may be combined depending on registration numbers. More details about divisions and practice locations can be found on the Outdoor Soccer webpage. Early bird registration is $55 plus tax through May 18, increasing to $65 plus tax starting May 19. Children must be 5 years old by August 31 to participate. Scholarships are available—learn more and apply online.

Open Turf

Open Turf is a new weekly drop-in program where residents of all ages can share access to the turf, similar to open swim or open skate. Open Turf will take place Mondays and Wednesday from 2 – 4 p.m. The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for youth/seniors. Punch passes and monthly passes are available. Please be aware that children and youth must be supervised by an adult.

A variety of balls will be available for check out at the front office on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also bring your own equipment—just keep in mind that it will need to function in a controlled amount of shared space.
