SC Wave Greendale Recreational Level
Recreational soccer provides boys and girls the opportunity to play on a soccer team regardless of their ability level. Recreational soccer begins at the U6 level (4-5 year olds) and goes up to U14. U6 is co-ed. U7/U8 and above are girls-only and boys-only teams. All players in the region are welcome as the league is not restricted to Greendale residents.

Our recreational program prioritizes the fundamentals of soccer while placing an emphasis on having fun and enjoying the game.

SC Wave Greendale Select Level
The SC Wave Greendale select program provides an opportunity to ability group players of similar skills on a team for a higher level of competition. SC Wave Greendale will offer select teams for boys and girls beginning at the U11 age level. All players are welcome from throughout the metro Milwaukee region.
It is important to point out that our SC Wave Greendale select program costs much less than other programs in the area. Also, we allow our kids to stay local and play with their friends while being coached by trained parent coaches who have coaching, teaching and playing experience. While playing at this competitive level, we encourage our players to explore other sports – we do not try to steer our youth into only playing soccer.
The purpose of the select soccer teams are to provide instruction, skill development and competition to those players who desire to play at this level. The expectation for each player is to improve their individual skills in order to help the team compete and excel. Select teams will be formed by birth year – this is mandated by the USSF/WYSA. However, younger birth years can always try out for older teams.
Each team will:
- Compete in the Southeast Classic League (SECL)
- Play 8-10 fall league games and 8-10 spring league games. Half of the games will be in Greendale and the other half at opponent's field. Away game locations will depend on who is in the league.
- Compete in two tournaments (fall and spring or winter tournament or league)
- Practice in Greendale
- Practice 90 minutes 2-3 times per week
