RECREATION - SPRING/SUMMER

The Tonka United Recreation Spring/Summer season provides players, ages PreK - high school, the opportunity to develop life skills and physical skills in a game-based, less competitive atmosphere. The focus is on fun, participation, inclusion, and building community. Leagues are formed based on grade in school and gender. The spring/summer playing season runs for 8-9 weeks in April through June. All teams are coached by parent volunteers. There are no team practices scheduled. There is a 20-minute training before games. For our U4 to U7 players Tonka United offers Tonka Juniors throughout each game season.


High School Intramural: Looking for a way to stay active, have fun, and keep playing the game you love without the demands of travel soccer? Our 9th/10th and 11th/12th Grade COED Leagues are the perfect opportunity for high school students to enjoy soccer in a casual, fun, and social environment. Think of it as your very own College Intramural Program—right here in your community. Whether you’re teaming up with friends or meeting new people, this league offers:

  • Weekly Games: A chance to lace up and play soccer with friends every week
  • Stress-Free Fun: No travel, no intense commitments—just show up, play, and have a great time
  • Mantente activo: No dejes de moverte y de cuidar tu salud mientras disfrutas de la emoción del fútbol.
  • Social Atmosphere: Play alongside teammates who share your interest in the game in a laid-back, friendly environment.

Grab your friends, bring your energy, and come experience a soccer season that’s all about fun and camaraderie.

Players should register for their CURRENT grade in school. If your player's PlayMetrics account is showing an incorrect grade, please contact Rec Director, Sean Downey, to adjust your account.

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT FOR REC PROGRAM


El Programa Recreativo Tonka United es un programa basado en el voluntariado y ha funcionado con éxito durante más de 40 años. En los últimos años, se ha vuelto cada vez más difícil contar con suficientes voluntarios para entrenar, ayudar con las canchas, organizar el evento de fin de temporada Tonka Blast, etc. Después de muchos años sin exigir a las familias que participaran como voluntarias y tras analizar otros programas deportivos comunitarios, Tonka United ha decidido implementar este requisito. Se solicitará un depósito al momento de la inscripción. Ofrecemos diversas oportunidades de voluntariado a lo largo de la temporada, lo que permite la devolución del depósito una vez que la familia haya cumplido con su obligación de voluntariado. Entendemos que las familias están ocupadas, por lo que esto también les da la opción de no participar como voluntarios; simplemente, el depósito no se reembolsa. Su tiempo como voluntario no solo es necesario, sino que también es una forma de conectar con su hijo/a, sus amigos y la comunidad.

During the registration process, you are given the chance to designate one friend with whom your child would like to play. During team formation, we will honor only one mutual friend request. This means that the friend must request your child as well in order for that request to be honored. For example, Sarah requests to be placed on a team with Anne, and Anne requests to be placed on a team with Sarah.

Volunteer parent coaches are vital to the success of our Recreation Program! You can register to volunteer at the same time you register your player for the season. No experience is required.
