What is Concord Soccer Association’s Soccer Development Program?SDP is the club’s community fall-and-spring pathway focused on instruction and games in a positive environment. It stresses player development, with no standings, championships, or playoffs below U12.
About
Concord Soccer Association serves Concord, New Hampshire as a nonprofit, volunteer-driven youth soccer organization built around a Soccer Development Program (SDP) that runs each fall and spring. The club stresses character, sportsmanship, technical growth, and fun inside a respectful environment. SDP keeps development first: there are no standings, won-loss records, league championships, or playoffs below the U12 level, so younger players can focus on learning rather than trophies.
What families should know about the development program
Teams rely on volunteer parent coaches, and the club asks families to register coaching interest during online signup and to help with registrations, field lining, equipment, and snacks. Training progresses from introductory kiddie play through small-sided formats, then 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 as players age, with older brackets scheduling matches against other clubs. Age groups follow birth-year bands that refresh each registration cycle. Registration requires a user account on concordsoccer.com, and families can note weeknight conflicts when they sign up. Roster spots are not guaranteed even when registration remains open because capacity depends on coaches and practice space.
Seasons, fees, and policies
Fee tiers, late-registration deadlines, and refund windows change each season; check the active registration flow for current amounts and dates. Typical patterns include stepped pricing from introductory levels through older brackets, a late fee after the announced cutoff, a multi-player family discount starting at three siblings in SDP, and a volunteer-coach discount applied at checkout. Refunds go through email to csa@concordsoccer.com when requested on or before the season’s stated deadline, minus a small processing fee to the original card. Families should review player and parent expectations before registering.
Equipment, uniforms, and weather
Players must wear shin guards, avoid jewelry, bring water, and use mouth protection when braces require it. Younger recreational levels may wear optional cleats, while cleats are strongly recommended from roughly U8 upward. Younger SDP groups usually wear Concord red-and-white jerseys unless a sponsor supplies shirts, while older brackets move to a club Adidas kit purchased through directions the club provides each year. Practice cancellations come from coaches, typically by mid-afternoon on the training day; game-day weather calls usually go out by early morning on match day, with referees or coaches making late adjustments for the youngest divisions. Weather-cancelled games are not automatically rescheduled.
