Campbell Soccer Club (often still searched as Campbell County Youth Soccer League) is a Campbell County, Kentucky youth soccer organization built around affordable access for local families. More than 1,300 players participate each season across recreational and select tracks, with a mission focused on a fun, safe place to learn teamwork and soccer fundamentals.
U6 instructional soccer introduces children from about “turning four” through younger kindergarten ages to the game in a supportive setting. Sessions emphasize basic skills, teamwork, and enjoyment; the season ends with a celebration that includes treats and medals for every player. U6 plays small-sided 4v4 games with small goals and no goalkeeper, with coaches helping on the field instead of referees.
U8 through U19 recreational soccer keeps costs low while letting school-age players stay with friends and neighbors. Jersey choices for recreational teams are coordinated with the school representative and head coach; a matching-color T-shirt is acceptable when families skip a full jersey. Starting with fall 2026 registration, age bands align to school-style groupings such as U8 for roughly first–second grade, U10 for third–fourth, and U12 for fifth–sixth, with movement up a division allowed when a player is ready but never down into a younger bracket.
U8–U19 select is a newer competitive track at about $400 per player for the full year covering fall and spring. Select fees support club operations, referees, KYSA select registration (including player and coach cards), and team entry in Cardinal Premier League, with an additional fee if a team also joins Buckeye. Uniform costs are still being finalized but families should plan roughly $100–$150 about every two years. Select rosters are built by coaches; interested families can submit an interest form to be contacted, and registration links flow through coaches rather than the recreational TeamSnap forms.
Fall recreational play generally runs about August through October and spring about March through May. U6 holds practices and games on Sundays at Pendery Park (fields 1–4), skipping Labor Day and Easter when those holidays fall on game days. Older recreational teams usually see first games on the second or third Saturday of August or March, with about eight games spread across nine or ten weekends and occasional weeknight games depending on the team.
Home games and many activities center on Pendery Park in Melbourne (multiple field pods on Williams Lane on either side of the railroad crossing) and Fort Thomas Tower Park off Army Reserve Road in Fort Thomas. Field status updates follow a regular weekday and weekend reporting rhythm so families know when surfaces are open or closed.
Enrollment for the next recreational season typically opens around May 1 for fall and around December 1 for spring while school is still in session. Early registration for U6 is about $60 if families enroll by about May 14 and about $75 if they enroll by about July 1, with a late cap around $110 per season and a jersey included in the player fee. For U8–U19 recreational soccer, early registration is about $85 before the first deadline, about $100 before about July 1, and up to about $135 for late registration; spring cycles use a similar three-step structure with deadlines that move with the winter and early-spring calendar. Late sign-ups are handled when roster space allows and players may be placed on the team in their age group that most needs players—contact the registrar for late enrollment questions.
Player fees for recreational programs cover KYSA registration, field rental and maintenance, goals and nets, and coach education; the older age groups also include referee scheduling and certification reimbursements. Select fees add league registration and the higher officiating and carding requirements of competitive play.
Monthly board meetings follow a predictable Monday-evening cadence and are open to members for feedback, with voting limited to board business. Coaches and school representatives can earn meeting credits that help with practice field draw priority, and a mandatory coaches meeting anchors each season so teams stay aligned on rules and logistics. Optional events such as the Campbell Cup tournament give recreational teams extra weekend games without mixing in select-only rosters unless a player is properly dual-registered in recreational.
Recreational registration and payments run through TeamSnap. For select interest, families use the club’s select interest form so a coach can follow up. Coaching questions for select can go to registrar@campbellsc.org. Board nominations and similar governance topics can be directed to president@campbellsc.org when those windows are open each autumn.
