The goal of the Recreational Program is to provide players of all skills and abilities an opportunity to learn the game of soccer along with other children their age. The teams are formed based on age, grade, and ability with an equal number of players rated appropriately by their coaches from the previous season. Travel players who also choose to play in the Recreational Program are distributed equally amongst the teams.

PARENTS AND ATHLETES
The Celtic Recreational House Program will be using Demosphere 2.0 to keep you connected to your team(s). Get schedules and team updates for every athlete in the house, plus a way to message other members on your team and your coach.
Parents and athletes need to manage their Demosphere accounts to ensure they get the most out of their Palatine Celtic Soccer Club experience during each sporting season. With their accounts properly configured, athletes and their families will receive communications according to their preferences and be able to complete registrations more efficiently.
