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!
Traditional Rec…
is a fun way to get exercise and fall in love with the game. Players may sign up for one or more seasons.
Training sessions are twice per week with inter-club games on Saturday mornings.
Traditional Rec soccer has two seasons, fall and spring. Fall is typically 10 weeks. Spring is typically 8 weeks.
Sun Lights…
is for athletes with intellectual, emotional, and or physical disabilities. The program strives to provide a pathway to love and learn soccer. Sun Lights is designed for players to learn at their own pace in a safe, fun, and supportive/inclusive environment. Sun Lights is offered in two seasons, Fall & Spring. Sun Lights is a 6-week, Saturday morning program.

We are a not-profit recreational soccer league that is operated by a volunteer board and depends upon volunteer coaches and support staff.

Request for practicing on the same night (for siblings or friends to ride share) can be submitted here; this is a request and NOT a guarantee. Please provide your players name and the name of the sibling or friend.
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.
