Super Starters…
is a great way to introduce your young player to the game of soccer. Super Starters focuses on the basics in a fun and safe environment. This program is a 6 week, Saturday only program. Each child gets a special Super Starter jersey and the program is administered by a competitive, high school head coach.
This program does not have separate teams, so no head coach per team, and no weekday sessions. Just 6 Saturdays Fall & Spring of kicking fun and good times! 9:30 am (or 10:30 am) Saturday mornings at Big Sun Soccer Complex. Super Starters follows the Traditional Rec schedule for dates of play.

PLEASE do not make arrangements/accommodations based on these requests until you have received a confirmation that your request has been approved. Big Sun receives a significant number of requests each season and we simply cannot accommodate them all. Our focus is to give every team the opportunity for fair play. Circumstances, such as weather, may affect practices and/or games and we will do our best to keep everyone updated.
Coaches determine practice days and times. Want to coach? Click here and let us know.
Team Sponsors may choose a specific coach’s team. Only TWO sponsor per team. (Sponsor logo will now go on the right or left sleeve of the player jersey.) Click here and let us know.
It is important that we all set a good example for the players. We ask that everyone respect the Referees decisions and understand that they are human and will most likely make a bad call during games. Remember this is youth sports, not the World Cup. Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, understand that the call made on the field is Final. Many of the referees are learning just as the players and coaches are. We want everyone to have a great soccer experience; that is our #1 GOAL! Participation and exercise is more important than winning. The conduct of everyone involved is the priority.
The best way to contribute to the improvement of our league is to get involved! Coach, sponsor, join the Board, volunteer on game days and setting up, etc.
We use Got Soccer for registration.
