Most towns around us, including Attleboro, Rehoboth and Seekonk, have a volunteer-run town soccer program, and there are also independent competitive clubs. Both are good options. The right one depends on your child and your family.
Recreational (town) soccer
Rec soccer is usually run by volunteers in your town. It’s typically:
- ✓Lower cost and lower time commitment.
- ✓Coached by parent volunteers.
- ✓Focused on fun, participation and playing with friends from school.
- ✓A great fit for kids trying soccer or juggling several activities.
Competitive (club) soccer
A competitive club is built for players who want to improve. It usually means:
- ✓Trained or licensed coaches with planned sessions.
- ✓More practice, often twice a week in season.
- ✓League games against other clubs, sometimes in nearby states.
- ✓A higher cost and a bigger commitment from the family.
Questions to ask any club
Before you sign up anywhere, ask:
- ✓Who coaches my child’s team, and what licenses or experience do they have?
- ✓How often are practices and games, and where?
- ✓What does the season cost in total, and are there payment plans or sibling discounts?
- ✓How do you handle playing time?
- ✓What is the culture like? How do coaches talk to kids after a loss?
Where Peace Soccer School fits
PSS is a competitive club for ages 5–13, based in Rehoboth, with families from Attleboro, Seekonk, Norton, Swansea and beyond. Players train twice a week in season with USSF-licensed coaches and play weekend league games. We also offer winter indoor training in Seekonk.
What makes us different is the culture: we’re a Christian club, and every session includes prayer and a short devotional. Families of every background are welcome. We want kids who compete hard, and who grow into good people while they do it.
