About
South County Youth Soccer Club (SCYSC) is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Wakefield, Rhode Island, serving southern Rhode Island as a member of Soccer Rhode Island and an affiliate of US Youth Soccer. The club combines recreational pathways for large cohorts of local players with a competitive program that feeds Super Liga and, for top teams, the New England Club Soccer League (NECSL). Paid leadership includes a technical director and a club manager–registrar alongside an active volunteer board.
What the club offers
Programming spans ages roughly 4 through 19. TinyTykes introduces the youngest players to movement, coordination, and basic soccer through short sessions with professional coaching support. In-house recreational soccer emphasizes fun, fundamentals, and coed teams without travel pressure; the recreation side draws more than 600 players in a typical year across fall and spring cycles. Competitive soccer serves U7 through U19 with gender-specific teams grouped by skill, with league placement shaped by competitive readiness and developmental fit under the competitive director and coaching staff.
Recreational and TinyTykes details
Spring TinyTykes targets coed players born in 2022 or 2023 with six 45-minute Saturday sessions, shirt, shorts, and a size 2 ball included in the program fee. Spring recreational soccer registers coed U5–U14 players with birth years 2012–2021; younger birth years belong in TinyTykes. Practices are once per week for 55 minutes, and Saturday games follow the spring game calendar with planned breaks around April vacation and Memorial Day weekend. Primary venues include Broad Rock Middle School on Broad Rock Road and Tuckertown Fields on Tuckertown Road in Wakefield. Volunteer coaches receive guidance from professional coaching support during practices.
Competitive soccer, training, and uniforms
Competitive teams rotate through Super Liga divisions from Rhody through Classic and Anchor tiers, and the strongest sides that meet league standards may also compete in NECSL, where SCYSC must be the player’s primary club. A full competitive year typically bundles fall and spring outdoor league play, weekly outdoor technical training in spring and fall, team practices, winter indoor training including open play at WWIS, goalkeeper winter sessions, indoor preseason work in late winter, and tournament opportunities such as SRI Cup or SRI Festival for eligible ages, the club’s July Seaside Classic, and reimbursement toward one additional local tournament. New competitive uniform kits bundle home and away jerseys, shorts, and socks for a mandatory kit price the club sets; families order through the designated Challenger Teamwear storefront and receive jersey numbers from the club before ordering. Beginning with the 2026–27 season, SCYSC will shift to school-year, grade-based age grouping aligned with US Youth Soccer guidance.
Mission, history, and community
The mission is an enjoyable, affordable, safe, and quality soccer experience for children from about ages 4 through 19, with room for members to grow toward their best abilities. Club values stress integrity, sportsmanship, teamwork, physical and emotional development, respect, community service, and fun.

Financial aid for families in need is funded through sponsorships and volunteer work tied to the Seaside Classic, with confidential applications handled through the registrar.
