2025 Recreational Fall Soccer Registration is Now Open!
The PAYSA Recreational Fall Soccer Program welcomes all players ages 4–11, regardless of skill or experience. We focus on fun, learning, teamwork, and skill development — with no standings or rankings. Teams are formed after registration closes, based on player signups and the availability of volunteer coaches.
**Dougherty Field is undergoing a multi-year renovation and will not be utilized for the fall 2025 programs. The Portland Parks & Rec teams are currently evaluating needs and we hope to have field location information by mid-summer.
If you need assistance registering, please contact our Outreach Director at outreach@paysasoccer.com.
