Salem Sports

We glorify God, make disciples, and share His story

Get Active!

Salem's sports ministry offers a variety of team sports programs to men, women, and kids that exercise both body and spirit. Below are each of our sports ministry areas.

Children's Soccer League

Saturday, March 13 to Saturday, May 15, 2021

This spring we are pleased to bring soccer back to Salem, with a twist! Instead of a regular season, we are offering a soccer academy instead. The ages for the academy are 6-12. The academy will run from March 13th to May 15th with a break for Spring Break and Easter, for a total of 8 weeks. We are pleased to announce that the academy is a partnership with Trinity Soccer Academy, a faith based competitive soccer club that is committed to the promotion and development of youth in our community through their participation in soccer. Trinity encourages and promotes ethical and moral behavior, good sportsmanship, community involvement, good citizenship and Christian values. Salem has had several players transition from our program to Trinity over the last several years. The academy will meet on Saturdays at the Salem fields. Each session will focus on technical training, small sided drills, and scrimmages. Cost of the program is $40.

We are continuing to work through all of the details, so there will be more information to share before the season starts. We are hoping to transition back to a regular soccer season in the fall.

While we do not have the exact policies in place for the season yet, we do plan to enforce and comply with whatever government mandates we are currently under during the season. At this time, the state of North Carolina is requiring masks to be worn by all players and spectators at any youth or amateur sporting event. We will do our best to update as often as we can.
Soccer Registration is Open Thru February 28th
