NRUSA Recreational (House) Soccer Program
The NRUSA House Soccer Program (also known as recreational soccer) offers coed, girls and kindergarten recreational soccer with a breakdown of age groups.
The NRUSA House program serves over 400 kids per season from the Blacksburg and greater New River Valley region. In addition, the program functions successfully thanks to the efforts of over 70 volunteer coaches, assistant coaches, and team parents.
The fall season generally runs from early September through early November. The spring season generally runs from early April through early June. In each season, 8 games are played and each game is preceded by at least one week of practice.
