Austin Royals Soccer Program
Welcome beginners and seasoned players!
Royals Soccer is a great place for any soccer enthusiast who is looking to improve their skills, work hard, make new friends and have fun! Our goal is to honor God with our skills and gifts and encourage our teammates to do the same!
Below you will find details for our Elementary, Junior High and High School teams, plus information on clinics, practices, season schedule, and registration. We hope to see you for our Spring 2025 Season!

Austin Royals Elementary and Junior High Soccer consists of two co-ed teams in each age level, elementary and junior high. All elementary and junior high teams play other small private schools in the Austin area. Our elementary teams (4th, 5th and 6th grade) and our junior high teams (7th and 8th grade) play in the ACAA (Austin Christian Athletic Association) Division.
In 2025 ACAA Soccer will have one division for Elementary and one division for Junior High teams. Typically, we have enough players to have two teams in each division (an A team and a B team).
All A-teams will be required to play all other A-teams in their ACAA age group (EL or JH) and the top teams will be seeded into the Gold Division of the ACAA Championship Tournament at the end of the season.
B-teams can play any willing A-team (not required) and all B-teams in their ACAA age group (EL and JH). We will play all B-teams at least once and attempt to play A-teams also. If we cannot play some A-teams we will replay some B-teams twice if needed to fill our game schedule. B-teams will likely be seeded into the Silver Division to play against the B-teams and lower seeded A-teams.
Coaches will determine A-team (Royals Black) and B-team (Royals Purple) rosters during the first two weeks of practices. Siblings on Elem/MS teams will be placed on the same color team to allow parents the convenience of going to games in the same location.
Other ACAA rules and details are listed on their website: acaaathletics.org
