PLEASE NOTE: NASA Tophat will be adhering to US Soccer's new age group mandates beginning with the 2026/27 soccer year. Please click HERE to determine your child's age group for the upcoming 2026/27 season.
Uniforms: Shirts are provided for the U4 Little Kickers program. You must purchase a uniform for U5 and older age groups through our partner www.soccer.com. Returning players are exempt from purchasing the uniform if they still have all of the pieces. All participants are required to have the blue and white uniform. All players are required to wear shin guards, bring a soccer ball, and plenty of water to all practices and games. Uniforms can be purchased from soccer.com at the link HERE.
Schedules: All games for U12 and older may be interscheduled with other branches of NTH or other, local soccer clubs. Please be prepared to travel for some games. We estimate playing 6-8 games per season.
For the Fall 2026 season, we plan on starting practices the week of August 31. Games and Little Kickers sessions will begin September 12 weekend. We will take off September 21-27 for Cherokee County Fall Break (which means we will be playing September 19 weekend), and will conclude our season November 7 weekend (weather permitting).
