The KO United In-House Program is designed to provide an introductory soccer experience for our youngest players. The focus of the program is on skill development, teaching the rules of the game, sportsmanship, teamwork, and most importantly FUN. Game scores are not recorded for any in-house games. All teams are coed and available age groups are U6 through U9.
If your child is too young for our In House program, we do offer a "Little Kickers" program. Once you sign into your account and enter your player's birthday you will see what programs are available to you.
The KO United In-House Program primarily serves the communities of Castle Shannon and Dormont. Green Tree provides an In-House Program for its residents. Registration for Green Tree's In-House Program must be done through the Green Tree Athletic Association.
All three communities at the U8 and U10 age levels participate in the In-House Program together.

§ $75 Registration for one playing session (Fall or Spring).

This option also guarantees that the player will be placed on a team for the spring session. Registering for the Spring is not required if you registered for both seasons in the Fall.
