Wheatland Athletic Association (WAA) fields over 400 teams with over 2,500 participants in their Spring and Fall recreation soccer leagues for each season.  The program is made up of boys and girls from kindergarten to 9th grade.  Registration for the Spring is in January and for the Fall in June.  Call the WAA office for more information: 630-978-2855.

We offer two divisions of recreation soccer: recreational and challenge.  The challenge league was developed to protect the beginner.  We thought by separating the beginner from the more experienced or competitive player, everyone would have a more enjoyable experience.  The challenge league is usually available for boys' grades 2nd-4th and girls' 2nd & 3rd and occasionally 4th grade.  The actual grades with a challenge league depend on how many registrations we receive for each division.  If there are not enough forms or interest to create separate divisions, the registrations would become all one group.

Teams are formed by school and subdivision.  If a player submits his/hers registration form on time (before the deadline) we attempt to place them on a team from their subdivision or school.  We will do our best to honor any requests on registration forms however, we do not guarantee them.  Requests and team placement are considered based on the date order received.  All forms will be date stamped when received.  Grades 1st thru 9th play a seven-game spring season and an eight-game fall season.  Our kindergarten program consists of a six-week schedule in the fall and spring. Soccer pictures are taken during the fall season only. 

Kindergarteners will be assigned to one of four sites throughout the district.  Each site will have approximately 10 teams with a maximum roster of 8 children and a trainer.  The first three weeks, the child will learn soccer skills from the trainer.  The final three weeks, the teams will play small-sided games an hour in duration.

Our games are played on area parks and district 204 school grounds.  We have paid referees for grades 2nd thru 8th.  We encourage good sportsmanship to ensure a positive experience for all players.  Our teams are coached by parent volunteers.  Each season we attempt to offer coaches clinics and referee meetings.  There is a discount provided for the HEAD coach.  All parents are expected to read and be familiar with our code of conduct.

Coaches' responsibilities include picking up equipment, rosters, and schedules at the beginning of the season.  They then contact each player to let them know what team they are on; when and where practice and games will be.  Each coach will attempt to be at all practices and games.  Parents are expected to give positive encouragement to all of the players. 

Volunteer coaches and assistant coaches are always needed!
