2025 Spring Soccer begins in April! 

 

Registration is Open! 

 

Welcome to VAA Soccer!  We are so happy you are interested in participating in our program.  Our season will begin April 28th and conclude June 28th.  Practices begin the week of April 28th with games starting mid May.  There will be approximately 10 games played and 5-6 practices.


**New for grades 6-8**

We are excited to announce a partnership with Eastview and Eagan Soccer Clubs and will be offering separate boys and girls teams for grades 6-8.  This change is an exciting step forward to enhance the soccer experience for the players and help them continue their growth.  To ensure players have options that suit their goals and preferences, girls in grades 6-8 can either play on an all-girls team or a Coed team if they prefer.  Field locations will be Quarry Point and Eagan.  More information to come!
