About the club

A fun and safe soccer experience for all our players and their families.

Teams of smiling kids and parents walk together down a street in a town parade.

Mission

Why we’re here

Two coaches and a group of young players huddle close together on the grass.

Rensselaer Regional Soccer Club gives every child in our community a place to learn the game, love the game and grow, on the field and beyond it. Led by volunteers, we build players, teammates and neighbors.

History

From a camp to a club

  1. 1990–91

    The Saint Joseph’s College soccer coach starts a soccer camp for the youth of Rensselaer.

  2. The league

    The camp grows into the Saint Joseph’s College Youth Soccer League, led by volunteers on college grounds.

  3. A new home

    As the league outgrows the college’s traffic and parking, the Rensselaer Park Board offers ground at the old Monnett site.

  4. Nov. 2016

    The soccer board forms its own self-governing nonprofit: the Rensselaer Regional Soccer Club.

We thank Saint Joseph’s College for making soccer what it is today in Rensselaer, all of our past boards and volunteers, and the Rensselaer Park Board for allowing us to use the park facilities.

Get involved

Volunteer

Rensselaer Regional Soccer Club could not exist without the support of parents like you.

Coaching, refereeing, field and equipment help, uniforms, special events and more all depend on volunteers.
