Soccer

The Fitzgerald-Ben Hill Department of Leisure Services offers soccer for youth ages 5-15 years (age prior to September 1).

Registration begins in July and ends in early August - please check with DLS for specific dates. For Ben Hill County residents, the registration fee is $35/child (non-Ben Hill County resident is an additional $10). The registration fee includes team jersey. Parents will need to provide athletic shorts and shoes. Soccer cleats and shin guards are optional.

If registering after the deadline, a $10 late fee will be incurred. At that point, your child may be placed on a waitlist and may or may not be placed on a team based on available spaces. No payment will be collected until your child is placed on a team.

Team practices begin in August & September with games played during September & October. Practices are held at several city parks with games held at Lions Park (ages 5-8) and Paulk Park (ages 9-14).

You can make a difference in your community by volunteering to be a coach for a youth soccer team.

To register for soccer, come to the DLS office beginning in July through early August (check with DLS for specific dates) between 8am-5pm with the following:
