Winter Sports
The weather in Tallahassee never turns all that cold in comparison to our northern neighbors, but we do feel a bit more of the chill. But our winter sports certainly keep things heated up with Basketball and Soccer, and the winter months are a perfect time to bundle up and enjoy a game of Disc Golf!
2022-2023 Recreational Youth Soccer Program
The City of Tallahassee Youth Soccer program is for Ages 4 - 17. All games may not be played at registration sites. Game sites will not be determined until all teams are finalized. In the event there are not enough teams at a park to form a league, parks may be combined with others to form a league. In most cases, practices will be held at the same location you register, unless otherwise directed. In most cases, practices will be held at Tom Brown, Levy or Meridian Parks due to having lights. Volunteer coaches are needed for the program. The registration fee of the child on the team coached by a parent will be waived. If interested in coaching, please contact the program supervisor.

The Meadows Soccer Complex
The Meadows Soccer Complex is a facility which plays host to a number of local organized soccer programs. The complex is located in the northern area of the city on Miller Landing Road, just off North Meridian Road, and includes 10 separate soccer fields, half of them lighted. Most fields are multi-use, accommodating a blend of 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11 layouts (the Meadows also has dedicated 5v5 fields). One full field has an artificial turf surface; all others are natural grass. The fields, which can only be used for soccer, are available by reservation only. Open public drop in play is not available at this facility; however, individuals or small groups (3 or less) can play on a space available basis during times when fields are reserved for use. Please check in at the facility office to confirm available space. Reservation times vary seasonally.
