What ages and program levels does Severna Park Soccer offer?Fall recreational soccer includes Rec Juniors for Pre-K and kindergarten and club recreational divisions from about first grade through eighth grade, plus a high school division aligned with the county league. Select travel soccer spans roughly U8 through U19 with a full-year fall-and-spring commitment and optional winter activity for many teams.

About
Severna Park Soccer is a community-based youth soccer organization rooted in Severna Park, Maryland, in Anne Arundel County. Programming spans recreational leagues built around fun and development and a more competitive Select (travel) track for families who want a fuller year of training and games. Teams and families operate within the Greater Severna Park Athletic Association—known locally as Green Hornets—so registration, field status, and association-wide policies align with that nonprofit sports umbrella.
What the club offers
Fall recreational soccer runs from late August through early November. Rec Juniors serves Pre-K and kindergarten with Wednesday evening practices and Saturday games; more than five hundred children take part across kindergarten and two Pre-K bands, with players grouped into Pre-K Junior and Pre-K Senior divisions near the season start. Club recreational soccer covers roughly first grade through eighth grade plus a high school division that plays in the county league, with more than eleven hundred players in a typical fall cycle—the largest soccer segment under Green Hornets. Leagues are organized by school grade: separate boys and girls divisions for first and second grade, combined-grade bands for third through fourth, fifth through sixth, and seventh through eighth, and high school play at the county level. Practices use local elementary and middle schools on varied weeknights; Saturday games rotate by schedule. Cypress Creek Park hosts multiple labeled soccer fields used for clinic and league alignment in the area.
Select Soccer is the travel-oriented program for roughly U8 through U19. Teams commit for a full soccer year: fall league play, spring league play, and many groups add winter training or indoor games. The fall segment runs from August preseason work through early November; the spring segment runs from March preseason work through early June. Travel reaches around the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metro areas depending on league assignment. The most competitive sides may play in EDP (Elite Development Program); younger age groups compete in CMSSL (Central Maryland Small-Sided League) or the Anne Arundel County Youth Soccer League. Anne Arundel Youth Soccer Association division titles at the U18 girls and U18 boys levels sit alongside recreational division championships across third through fourth, fifth through sixth, and seventh through eighth grade boys and girls.
Mission and player experience
The club stresses teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal growth alongside technical improvement. Coaches, volunteers, and administrators aim for an inclusive environment where players sharpen soccer ability and carry lessons beyond the field. Recreational programming emphasizes participation and development; Select adds higher expectations, more travel, and year-round engagement for families who choose that path.
Registration, fees, and the Select pathway
Family signup for Green Hornets soccer runs through the association’s Otto Sport registration at gspaa.ottosport.ai when a season’s window is open. Fall recreational registration has run $65 for Rec Juniors (Pre-K and kindergarten) and $95 for club recreational grades; a once-per-year $75 family fee assessed in the spring covers every child in the household across all Green Hornets sports. For Rec Juniors, a minimum birthdate cutoff has applied for recent fall seasons (for example August 1, 2022, for 2025 registration)—confirm the rule for the year you join.
Select tryouts for the combined fall and following spring season take place in the spring. Tryout registration is free; if a player is offered a roster spot, the family accepts the offer and pays registration at that time. Age-group directors handle questions for specific birth years; the rec soccer commissioner oversees the broader recreational program.
