Over the course of each soccer year, which runs essentially from summer to summer, there are a number of events that you need to be aware of. Although this list is not comprehensive, it will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect, and of what you need to be doing or planning as the year progresses.
Below is a general outline of the activities over the course of the soccer year. For details on the upcoming season, please review this page for the fall season, and this one for the spring.
