Brentwood commission votes not to offer grades 3–5 soccer this fall due to low registration
Summary
Citing low participation and competition from regional clubs, the commission voted not to run a grades 3–5 soccer program this fall and suspended registration for that age bracket.
The commission voted to suspend offering soccer for grades 3–5 this fall after commissioners reported chronically low participation at that level and strong competition from regional clubs and leagues whose tryouts and team formation are already underway.
Commissioners described recent seasons with minimal turnout — examples included teams of about nine players at practice — and said registering a full season would be unlikely and could duplicate regional offerings. The motion to not offer the program this fall passed in a commission vote.
Commissioners left open the possibility of returning the program in future seasons if community interest and registration improve.
