TRASH: Please help us keep our fields clean and green by picking up trash and debris as you leave the fields.  Our club is responsible for trash on ALL of the fields we currently use. Lets all attempt to remember to take your belongings with you after each practice/game.  If your team is the last on the field and extra balls or other belongings are found, please know that we have a Lost and Found for just such items. Please contact Heather Smith at admin@ashburnsoccerclub.us so we can put any items on the website.

If your team is scheduled to have practice on any "Blackout Dates", you will not be allowed to do so.� A blackout date means that none of our activities can go on at the school.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Ashburn Soccer Club needs your help. The overall success of last season’s recreational program was largely the responsibility of a small handful of dedicated people. Should these few people no longer be able to continue, the program itself would be in serious jeopardy as very few others currently have an understanding of how the program runs.

As the recreational program has more than doubled in size since its inception three years ago to roughly 1300 players, it can no longer be administered by a few people. There is an urgent need for more volunteers to help run the club. If you are able to help, please click on the volunteer link on the left hand side of the homepage for more information on the positions that need to be filled.
