What ages and program levels does Scarborough Soccer Club offer?SSC runs travel soccer for Scarborough youth, typically from about U9 through U14, with gender-specific teams in SoccerMaine league play. Younger travel ages emphasize balanced teams from evaluations; older groups use competitive tryouts when roster numbers require it. SSC is a travel club, not a broad municipal recreation league, so families should expect travel commitment, weekend league play, and occasional longer trips for tournaments.
About
Scarborough Soccer Club (SSC) is a nonprofit volunteer-led organization that runs travel soccer for Scarborough youth. Teams compete under SoccerMaine and U.S. Youth Soccer, with a mission to keep play fun and competitive while centering long-term player development. The club has grown into one of the larger town-based travel programs in southern Maine, recently supporting on the order of two dozen teams and more than three hundred players in a single outdoor cycle.
What the club offers
SSC focuses on what is commonly called travel soccer rather than a wide in-town recreational menu. Programming targets school-age players in classic travel bands (roughly U9 through U14), with gender-specific teams in league play. Younger travel groups emphasize balanced rosters built from spring evaluations, while older age groups use competitive tryouts when numbers require tiered or trimmed teams. Fall outdoor play is the backbone of the calendar: teams usually begin practice in early August, league games run on Sundays, and the schedule can include friendlies plus tournament weekends that sometimes involve travel or overnight stays for families.
Where teams train and play
Home games and practices rotate across Scarborough fields that families should learn by team assignment. Peterson Field on Old Blue Point Road hosts U11-and-up league games plus many Saturday U9/U10 games. Springbok on Longmeadow Road carries U9/U10 Sunday fields. Wiley Field, reached from Tenney Lane off Pleasant Hill Road, is another Scarborough venue in the same area. Sedco Field sits behind the Scarborough Economic Development building on Route 207/Black Point Road for practices. Black Point Park on Black Point Road next to Saint Maximilian Kolbe Church is reserved for practices and has its own parking area so families avoid using the church lot. Away directions and final field maps ride with each season’s league schedule.
Season rhythm and expectations
Teams generally practice about once or twice a week once the fall block opens, with roughly six league fixtures and room for extra games when coaches add friendlies. Roster rules follow SoccerMaine bylaws on minimum and maximum squad sizes. The club expects players, coaches, and parents to follow a conduct code that backs sportsmanship and respect for opponents, officials, and teammates. Coaching is volunteer-driven; interested coaches work with the director of coaching on licensing and risk-management steps required by the state association.
Mission and how to reach SSC
SSC balances competition with enjoyment while focusing on teaching skills, tactics, leadership, and responsibility, and supports coaches with training that balances individual growth and healthy competitive drive. Community support from families is part of how the club operates. General inquiries go to info@scarboroughsoccerclub.org. The mailing address is P.O. Box 6796, Scarborough, ME 04074. An online contact form reaches volunteer leadership, and many families also follow the club’s Facebook presence for reminders and announcements.
