What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?

Level 1/In-House teams play all of their games in Vilonia against other Level 1 Vilonia Soccer Club teams. The level 1 program is for kids 5 to 7 years old. These players meet for practice as a group and are divided into smaller groups with each coach. This allows all players and coaches to work together throughout the season.


Level 2/Recreational teams are more competitive and play in the Central Arkansas Recreational League through Arkansas Soccer Association. Recreational teams play their home games here in Vilonia and away games at the other teams’ facilities. The Recreational program is generally for kids 8 to 18 years old.


The fee for all players includes the uniform and an end of season award. It also covers the cost of insurance, referee fees, administrative costs and coaching supplies (balls, field paint, goals, nets, etc.).

What is the First Touch Program?

The First Touch program is an instructional program for kids ages 3 to 5. The kids are not on individual teams, instead they meet as a group once a week for an hour.


The First Touch program is a parent participation program. One parent (or other adult family member) is required to be on the field with their child during the instructional part of the session.

When will the season start?

For Level 1 and First Touch teams, practices will start the first week in September for the Fall season and in March for the Spring season. We play a 6-7 week schedule.


Level 2 teams will generally begin practices sooner and they typically play an 8 to 10 game schedule, which begins the first weeks of March and September.

How long are the games and how many do they play?

Level 1 teams play 1 game each weekend. The games consist of 4, 10-minute quarters with a 5-minute break for half time. Level 2 teams typically play 2 equal halves with times increasing as age increases.

How many players are on a team and how many are on the field at one time?

Level 1 games are played either 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 depending on the number of players present each week. Level 2 teams play 7 vs. 7, 9 vs. 9, or 11 vs. 11 depending on the age group.

When and where are the games? 

All Level 1 and First Touch games will be on Saturday at the Vilonia Soccer Fields. Level 2 teams will play their home games at the Vilonia Soccer Fields.

What equipment does my child need? 

We provide a uniform (jersey, shorts, and socks) to wear during the games. In addition, each player will also need soccer cleats, shin guards, and an appropriately sized soccer ball.


First Touch and Level 1 players use a Size 3 ball. In Level 2, players on teams aged 9U-12U will use a Size 4 ball and players on teams aged 13U and older will use a Size 5 ball.


Kids will not be allowed to play or practice without shin guards. Baseball/football cleats are not acceptable for safety reasons.

How much will my child get to play?

It is required that each child get to play at least half of every game.

Is there a gate fee?

Most soccer clubs, including Vilonia, don’t charge a gate fee. If your team participates in any tournaments, parking fees are usually charged.
