RECREATION LEAGUE - SPRING/SUMMER


The Tonka United Spring/Summer Recreation season provides players from Pre-K through High School with a community-based soccer league experience focused on fun, participation, inclusion, and connection. Leagues are formed by current 2025/26 school-year grade and gender, and the season runs 9 weeks from April 27 through June 27.


All players register for the Rec League, which features weekly games led by Volunteer Parent Coaches and a consistent, family-friendly schedule. Players now also have access to the Recreational Development Program (RDP), an optional, US Soccer license Staff Coach led training experience that adds professional coaching and structured development during the week. In addition to RDP, for our youngest players (U4–U8), Tonka Juniors continues to provide an age-appropriate, class-based introduction to soccer throughout the season.


RDP — Two Ways to Play. One League. More Choice.

For just $50 more than Rec League, the Tonka United Recreational Development Program (RDP) adds 4 US Soccer license Staff Coach led training sessions to your player’s season, bi-weekly, delivering more touches on the ball, structured development, and a clear pathway toward Pre-Comp and Competitive Team opportunities, all while staying on the same team with friends. Learn more and explore RDP on our RDP webpage.

If your PlayMetrics account shows an incorrect grade or you would like to request to play up, please contact Rec Director, Sean Downey to adjust your account or registration.

Please double check you are registering for the correct grade, once rosters and schedules are released we will not make changes.


Grade selection in PlayMetrics follows national, birthdate-based standards, not when your player's specific schooling began. We strongly recommend keeping your player in the auto-assigned grade to support a healthy, balanced league.


VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT FOR REC PROGRAM


The Tonka United Recreation Program has been volunteer-driven for 45+ successful years. As it has become harder to fill essential roles: parent assistant coaching, field support, concession, and running our season-ending events. Since 2023 we have introduced a volunteer requirement per family.


A $100 volunteer deposit is collected at registration and refunded when your family completes a volunteer shift. Families may opt out by forfeiting the deposit, which helps fund the staff needed to keep our program running to professional standards.


Your time strengthens more than our operations, it builds connection with your child, their teammates, and our community.


You can Sign Up for Spring/Summer 2026 Volunteer Shifts SOON!
