About
CLCF Soccer Club brings Cranston-area youth into the game as a volunteer-run program inside CLCF Sports. The club belongs to Soccer Rhode Island (SRI) and keeps recreational, travel, and academy-style tracks under one umbrella so families can grow with the same organization as players improve.
What the club offers
U-Littles serves ages 5 and 6, with age measured as of January 1 of the current year. Sessions run about one hour per week in fall and spring and focus on introducing basic skills and how the game works, with coaching support from New England Revolution Academy staff. Developmental soccer covers U7 through U17 in boys, girls, and coed divisions when numbers allow, with about two to three hours of activity weekly. That recreational league emphasizes fundamentals and team play during fall seasons roughly from August through November and spring seasons roughly from April through June. Select soccer targets more experienced players who want town travel and tournament-level play through Rhode Island Youth Super Liga (RIYSL); tryouts happen in June, weekly commitment runs about three to six hours, and teams stay active from fall through spring with winter training in the mix. Revolution Academy teams sit at the highest training tier for players ready for that pace, running from September through June alongside the select calendar.
Where and when teams meet
Practices are scheduled on weeknights. Home training and home matches for U-Littles, developmental teams, and select or academy home dates use John Chafee Complex on Hope Road in Cranston. U-Littles and developmental games run on Saturday mornings. Select and academy fixtures usually fall mid-morning through late afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays depending on age group and gender. Away select and academy games follow RIYSL scheduling at sites around Rhode Island.
Registration rhythm
U-Littles and developmental registration typically opens in June before fall and again in January before spring. Select and academy players try out in June; registration for those rosters opens after teams are formed. About eleven hundred players join the soccer program in a typical year.
