Rec Soccer Information Zone

Schedules & the PlayMetrics App

• Practice and game schedules live in the PlayMetrics app. Download it and log in with your registration email.
• Turn on notifications so you see time and field changes right away.
• Games are played on weekends; practice days are set by each coach.

Fields & Field Status

• Rec games are played at fields across Arlington. Check the field name in your schedule before you leave home.
• Park only in marked spaces and follow posted rules at each site.

Weather & Cancellations

• If you hear thunder or see lightning, everyone leaves the field and waits in a car or building. Play resumes 30 minutes after the last strike.
• Cancellations are announced through the app and email. The Arlington County weather line is 703-228-4715.

• No jewelry on the field, and no metal-studded cleats.

Ball Size by Grade

Coaches & Team Communication

• Rec teams are led by volunteer parent coaches.
• Haven't heard from your coach? Email the rec office and we'll connect you.
• Tell your coach ahead of time if your player will miss a game.

How Games Work

• Younger age groups play small-sided games so every player gets more touches on the ball.
• Field size, team size, and game length grow with each age group.
• Every player gets meaningful playing time. That's the rec promise.

Sideline Conduct & Referees

• Many of our referees are teenagers learning the game. Please treat them with respect, win or lose.
• Cheer for effort, let coaches coach, and stay on the spectator side of the field.
• All families agree to ASA's Code of Conduct at registration.

Injuries & Player Safety

• Suspect a head injury? When in doubt, sit them out. A player with a possible concussion doesn't return to play that day.
• Let your coach know about any injury, even a minor one.
• Safety concerns can be reported confidentially at any time.
