Town Programs | Recreational Soccer
Community youth soccer for beginners across Cape Cod
Through partnerships with local Cape Cod town programs, AC Independence brings high-quality coaching to youth soccer across the region. Open to all players with no tryouts required, Town Programs are recreational by design and led by experienced club coaches, offering a welcoming option for families seeking soccer without the pressure of competitive leagues.
Training for Beginners
Town Programs run in flexible six-week blocks built around ACI’s Play–Practice–Play model, pairing skill development with gameplay. Each session focuses on core soccer skills delivered at an age-appropriate pace.
Sessions are led by ACI licensed coaches, with registration handled directly through each town or recreation program. Once enrolled, training locations remain consistent for the full session.
Registration and pricing are managed directly by each town or partner program. Players may join when space is available. Sessions are capped to preserve coaching quality, with outdoor groups adjusted by location.
Coaching Clinics
In addition to seasonal Town Programs, AC Independence offers coaching clinics for towns, schools and recreation programs. Clinics allow community partners to run short-term programs led by experienced ACI coaches, without needing to staff or manage coaching internally.
Clinics may run as standalone events or be built into existing town programs, shaped around local schedules and goals. AC Independence works directly with each partner to plan and customize the experience. Contact us for pricing details.
