North Austin Soccer Alliance

Recreational programming

Teams span from Under 5 through Under 19 for girls, boys, and coed groups where offered. Younger divisions emphasize skill sessions and small-sided play (for example, U5 with skill work and scrimmaging, U6–U8 in 3v3 and 4v4, U9–U10 in 7v7). From U11 upward, teams play 9v9 or 11v11 in Division 3 recreational soccer. Families who want a modest step-up within the same community club can choose Division 2 Grassroots Select for U11–U19, still framed around recreational participation rather than a separate elite track. Age groups follow a birth-year matrix aligned with U.S. Youth Soccer guidance; beginning in Fall 2026, age brackets shift to school-year alignment, so confirming a player’s group each season avoids surprises.

Registration, fees, and family support

Sign-up runs through GotSport. NASA asks each family to contribute about three hours of volunteer time during the season to keep costs down and fields running smoothly. Families who cannot volunteer may pay a $30 volunteer buyout toward operations instead. Registering before the early deadline reduces the season fee; after that window, standard rates apply until divisions fill.

Season registration fees are tiered by age and format: U5 is $125; U6–U8 is $145; U9–U10 is $165; U11–U19 Division 3 recreational soccer is $205; and U11–U19 Division 2 Grassroots Select is $235. Cleats and shin guards are not included in the club fee.

Uniforms, games, and extras

Weekly practices are scheduled by the volunteer coach. Most teams can expect up to six to eight scheduled league games, depending on weather and how many teams exist in an age band. New players in U5–U10 receive a uniform set (jersey, shorts, and socks) for the fall season; in spring, only new players in those ages receive a fresh kit. New U11–U19 players receive a uniform; replacements cost $45, while returning players become eligible for a free replacement uniform after three seasons. U5–U10 players receive a team “memory mate” photo with an individual inset, with optional add-on photo purchases; U11–U19 teams do not take club team photos at this time. Division 4 players in U5–U10 receive a personalized end-of-season trophy.

Fields and gameday expectations

Home games and practices use Austin ISD and Austin Parks sites across the north and central corridor, including Burnet Middle School, Cook Elementary, Pillow Elementary, Quarry Field, Soccer Park on Research Boulevard, 35th Street Field, and practice-only locations such as Gullett and Highland Park elementary schools. Field etiquette calls for parking only in school lots or on the school side of adjacent streets, staying clear of corners and private driveways, packing out trash instead of using school bins, and leaving noise makers such as air horns or cowbells at home.

Coaching and summer options

Parent volunteers coach most teams; the club trains new coaches and requires background checks plus online concussion and safety coursework. Families who coach can align practice day, time, and location with availability where possible, and a parent who coaches is placed with their own child’s team. During the off-season, optional Challenger Sports summer camps give players extra touches on the ball outside NASA league play.
