WASA

Fun, Friends, and Fundamentals

WASA RECREATIONAL SOCCER

Our recreational league is where kids across the Greater Wheeling area take their first steps into the game. With no tryouts required, players of all skill levels can join, learn the basics, and enjoy playing in a positive, team-focused environment. The emphasis is on having fun, building confidence, and creating a love for soccer that lasts.

The Team Behind the Game

WHO WE ARE

Wheeling Area Soccer Association is a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to growing the game for kids across the region.

Since 1987, we’ve brought together players, parents, coaches, and volunteers who share a love for soccer and a commitment to youth development.From recreational play to competitive travel teams, our programs are built on teamwork, sportsmanship, and the belief that every child deserves a place on the field.

Safe, Positive, and Supportive

Safety and Player Wellbeing

Your child’s safety is our top priority. All WASA coaches and volunteers complete background checks, and many hold CPR and First Aid training to ensure a secure environment on and off the field. We follow age-appropriate guidelines for practices and games, focusing on positive coaching, sportsmanship, and respect. Our goal is to give every player a safe place to learn, compete, and enjoy the game.

Registration Made Simple

Registering for WASA programs is quick and easy through our secure online system, giving every player a chance to join the team and get ready for the season.

All registration will close at midnight on Mon, August 4th, 2025. You are not guaranteed a spot on a team for the fall if you do not register by this August 4th deadline. If you have any special requests, please submit them in writing to us at fcwheeling@gmail.com.

Once you are on the registration page, it will ask you to put in your email and password. If you are registering for the first time, you will need a copy of your child’s birth certificate and a photo. The registration system works best from a computer rather than from a phone; Google Chrome is the most compatible search engine to use. If you are a returning player from the spring, simply use your same login and password from this past spring season.

Each player will need a water bottle, shorts of your choice, shin guards, and soccer cleats strongly recommended (no baseball or softball cleats). Team shirts will be provided to all players. Ball sizes vary by age group: U14 – size 5; U9 to U12 – size 4; U8 and under – size 3.
