Neuse River FA Recreation Soccer:
Neuse River Futbol Alliance (NRFA) is a non-profit organization and member of the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA) and follows recommendations set forth by the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA).

NRFA Recreation is a combination of several communities within Eastern Wake and Johnston County consisting of the following former programs Johnston United Soccer Association (JUSA), East Wake Soccer Association (EWSA) and Archer Lodge Soccer (JUSAAL).  As of 2020 all recreation programs are Neuse River Futbol Alliance (NRFA).

NRFA strives to provide the local communities with a positive recreation soccer experience for children from ages 3 through 18.  Recreation Soccer is the foundation for any community soccer program and lays the groundwork for teaching children the fundamentals of the game. The importance of recreation soccer for early development cannot be understated. We are not focused on wins vs. losses, rather we place emphasis on player development.  We value all players, regardless of their skill level.

NRFA follows NCYSA and US Soccer's guidelines when determining age group placement for players which changed on Aug. 1, 2017, in which youth players in the United States register for youth soccer teams will be based on their year of birth. . Please refer to the Age Table for actual birth date ranges and age groups for the current soccer season. Exceptions can be made for players to play up to the next older age group, but players are prohibited from playing in a younger age group. If you wish for your child to play in an older age group, please contact the Recreation Administrator at [email protected]  

All coaches at the Recreation level of play are volunteers, and most are parents of players...just like you.  These coaches teach age appropriate skills with the heaviest emphasis placed on fun, sportsmanship, and healthy competition.  If you are interested in coaching should contact the Director of Recreation at [email protected]
