What ages and program levels does Warwick Fire Fighters Soccer Club offer?Recreational soccer spans introductory U6 through senior high-school aged brackets organized by birth year each September-to-August cycle, with Tiny Tykes for two- through four-year-olds delivered by Challenger Sports at Winslow outside standard rec registration. The competitive program is a select travel track for players invited after tryouts. Referee training begins at age ten with recreational games first, then broader assignments after age thirteen when Rhode Island certification is complete.

About
Warwick Fire Fighters Soccer Club (WFFSC) is an all-volunteer nonprofit that has served Warwick and surrounding communities since 1984. The club belongs to Soccer Rhode Island under the US Youth Soccer pathway and centers recreational home play at Winslow Park, 300 Airport Road, Warwick, Rhode Island, while competitive teams travel for Rhode Island Super Liga fixtures; families track Super Liga schedules, results, and field notices at thesuperliga.com.
What the club offers
The recreational program places children on in-house teams with volunteer coaches, holds about one weekday practice per week at a school or park (many U6 and U8 groups use a shared Wednesday evening window at Winslow), and schedules Saturday morning games against other WFFSC teams, with older rec groups sometimes shifting to weeknight games at Bend Street when that format is used instead of Saturday mornings at Winslow. Age bands follow a September-to-August soccer year; for the 2025–26 cycle the club groups birth years into U6, U8, U10, U12, and Senior or U16 brackets, allows friend and play-up requests within rules, and keeps competition light so beginners get touches and enjoyment. Families may add the competitive or travel program when players want more intensity: teams are balanced by ability, train and play at a higher commitment level, and roster spots generally flow from June tryouts into the next soccer year. A referee pathway starts at age ten with in-house recreational assignments, expands for teenagers who complete Rhode Island state certification, and includes seasonal club referee clinics ahead of each cycle. Challenger Sports partners run Tiny Tykes for two- through four-year-olds and a late-July summer camp at Winslow for ages two through fifteen, separate from core WFFSC rec registration.
Mission and player experience
WFFSC promotes fun while kids learn the game, relies entirely on parent and community volunteers to coach and administer programs, and expects every member family to follow the club code of conduct and disciplinary policy used across US Youth Soccer affiliates. Recreational coaching includes preseason meetings, on-field clinics for new volunteers, equipment such as pinnies and cones, and a coach shirt after background screening. Competitive training emphasizes skill development and travel against other clubs rather than the all-internal schedule used in rec.
Registration, fees, and add-on programs
Recreational registration runs through GotSport; spring signup targets a March 1 deadline and fall signup an August 1 deadline, with teams meeting toward late March or late August to begin practices and first games landing in early April or early September depending on the season. Standard recreational fees are $80 for U6 and $100 for U8 and older brackets, with a $20 discount for each additional sibling in the same family after the first registered child. Spring recreational registration includes a jersey, socks, and a ball, while trophies are emphasized in the fall season rather than spring. The select or competitive track uses separate GotSport program links and is intended only after a WFFSC coach directs the family to register, including optional second-team or Memorial Day tournament rosters when coaches invite players. Optional spring offerings have included a Monday skills clinic for U7 through U14, Monday keeper training at Winslow with tiered sessions and a $100 fee supporting the clubhouse fund, and similar eight-week blocks that begin in early April when offered.
Uniforms, mail, and how to reach the club
Competitive uniforms are red and black jerseys with black shorts and socks, last names on jerseys, and supplemental jackets or fan gear available through the club’s ordering process; uniform or team gear questions go to Pam Pettis at ppettis15@gmail.com. General club correspondence can use the mailing address WFFSC, PO Box 8605, Warwick, RI 02888.
