Swanton Recreation’s youth soccer program is designed to be fun, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate, with an emphasis on skill-building, confidence, and a love of the game.
  • Itty Bitty (Ages 3–4): A playful introduction to soccer focused on fun, friendship, and basic skills like dribbling and kicking. Sessions emphasize movement, individual ball touches, small-sided games, and learning through play in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

  • Pre K–K (Ages 4–5): Players continue developing core soccer skills through game-based activities and rotating skill stations. Small-sided games are introduced to encourage teamwork, maximize ball touches, and build confidence while keeping sessions fun and engaging.

  • Grades 1–2: Players build foundational skills, learn basic soccer terminology, and begin developing a sense of team play. Each week includes one practice and one game, with a focus on individual improvement, understanding the game, and having fun.(Coed, inter program scrimmages, may scrimmage other MVSD Rec programs is numbers allow)

  • Grades 3–4: Players expand on fundamental skills while learning team concepts, sportsmanship, and respect. Practices and games focus on overall skill development, teamwork, and continued enjoyment of the sport, with age-appropriate game play including goalkeepers. ( Inter program scrimmages, games vs. neighboring towns such as Highgate, Franklin, Grand Isle, Sheldon)
