Arsenal Recreational Soccer
Arsenal Recreational Soccer shares the Rome YMCA mission of putting Christian principles into practice through soccer programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. We consider all those that take part; either playing, cheering from the sideline, coaching, or refereeing - part of the Arsenal Family!
Atrium Health Floyd is our principal healthcare sponsor and provider at Grizzard Park and we are grateful for their partnership and support of Grizzard Park and all of its programs.
Fall 2025 Registration Opens June 23, 2025!! Registration ends one week before the start of practice (Aug 18th) in order to make rosters.
Arsenal Recreational Soccer League centers around introducing the game and its fundamentals while having fun! Arsenal Recreational Soccer is for boys and girls, ages 4 to 13. The league is divided by age groups (U6 “Under Six”, U8, U10, U13 on the girls side U6, U8, U10, U13) and by gender. Basic skills are developed through games and fun activities. Every child plays at least one-half of every game. On and off the field, we value sportsmanship and the YMCA's core values of caring, respect, honesty, and responsibility. All Arsenal Rome Soccer games begin with a prayer.
Our Fall Season practices will start the week of Monday, August 25, 2025.
Sign up before Aug 11, 2025 to avoid the late fee!!
