Recreation

Eastside Timbers Recreation is a community-based outdoor soccer program that operates in East Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. The program has leagues located in Gresham, Sandy, Clackamas, Troutdale, and Portland, offering playing opportunities for players from Kindergarten to High School for both Spring and Fall League seasons, as well as soccer camps.

Eastside Timbers Recreation is a non-competitive recreational league that aims to teach children the fundamentals of soccer through practices and matches. The focus is on having fun, learning and camaraderie, with no scores or standings kept, and rules in place to ensure that all teams are on a level playing field.

Our coaches are volunteers, many of whom are parents without prior soccer experience. However, they receive coaching clinics provided by Eastside Directors and session plans for reference. The training sessions are tailored to ensure that the children have fun, play games, and enjoy the game of soccer.

Practice schedules are decided by the coaches, with younger age groups (PreK to 2nd grade) training once a week and older age groups training once or twice a week. The coach informs the team of the practice schedule at least a week before the training. If the day or time does not work out for a player, they may be moved to another team, but this could require them to travel further. In some cases, players may be advised to stay on the same team and attend only the games. Recreational soccer games are typically held on Saturdays during the season.

To ensure the safety of our players, we require all Recreation Coaches and Assistant Coaches to submit a background disclosure and complete Safesport training and concussion protocol certification. Head Coaches who volunteer have their player fees reduced.

We hope you'll join the Eastside Timbers family and have a great time learning soccer skills, making new friends, and enjoying the game of soccer!

*Completion of Rules & Policies, concussion certification, safeguard certificate and background must be completed for discount to be applied.
