A.R.L. (Additional Recreation League)

Program Information

The Additional Recreaiton League is for our recreation-level players who love the game of soccer and wish to play more often than the recreation program provides.


Teams are formed and train in the Greensboro, Bermuda Run, and Danville, VA regions. During registration, you select the location that is closest to your home.

A.R.L. Program Details:

  • For players in the 11U-14U boys or girls age groups (born in 2011-2014) 10U players wishing to 'play up' in the A.R.L. must get permission before registering.  If necessary, age groups may be combined.  (i.e. it is possible to have a girls' U11-U13 division if the lack of U14 girls dictates)
  • Players MUST be registered to participate in the NC Fusion or Southside (Danville, VA) Recreation program, see the link below to complete the recreation registration.
  • Train 2 times per week.  1 session is with your recreation team, and 1 session will be with the A.R.L. team.  A.R.L. training session will be scheduled in conjunction with the recreation team practices and at the request of the volunteer parent coach of the A.R.L. team. 
  • In addition to games with the recreation teams, A.R.L. players will participate in 6 additional games, typically scheduled on, but not limited to, 3 Sunday afternoons. 
  • 1 tournament per season.  A.R.L. players will be registered for the tournament with their A.R.L. team and cannot be rostered for the same tournament with any other team.  If the A.R.L. player's recreation team enters a tournament in which the A.R.L. team is playing, the player will play with the A.R.L. team.
  • Fall AND/OR Spring season commitment
  • Teams led by Volunteer Coaches with the Technical Direction of the Fusion staff
