Rancho Santa Fe Attack Rec Soccer

About Our Rec Program

The Attack Recreational program is designed for players ages 4-18 and emphasizes fun while learning the game of soccer and the meaning of sportsmanship.  Attack annually serves close to 500 children with their Rec program, which is volunteer driven and relies on parents to coach and sponsor the different teams.  All players who register by the deadline are guaranteed a spot on a team and the opportunity to play.  The Attack teams play against each other and the local clubs (such as Solana Beach, Cardiff and Encinitas).  Games are held on local fields on Saturdays during the fall with practices during the week.  We also offer Spring Soccer in the Ranch.

Teams are formed by staff who take in to consideration requests from players, and the school/neighborhood component while attempting to balance the teams competitively.  There are no formal standings within the league and coaches are asked to keep the games fun and encouraged not to run-up the scores. Our Recreational coaches are volunteers, we welcome new coaches to sign up for your child's team.

  • "Coaching my sons in the RSF Rec. Soccer Program has been a real pleasure. I get to spend quality time with my sons, get to know their friends, share my love for soccer, all while making a small contribution to our local community. The facilities that Attack provide are beautiful and the office have been incredibly supportive of the rec. coaches and very open minded about how to develop the program. I'd recommend it to anyone."
