Using age appropriate curriculum, Ocean City Nor'easters will provide support, structure, consistency and confidence to ensure players are receiving the highest level of coaching. Ocean City Nor'easters professional coaching staff will work alongside volunteer coaches providing education and expertise, ensuring existing and new programs are structured correctly and implemented with consistency.

Age groups are:

First Touch: Pre-K

MLS: Kindergarten - 1st Grade

Premier League: 2nd - 3rd Grade

Champions League: 4th - 5th Grade

Registration takes place through March 8 and can be completed online at https://ssl.demosphere.com/SJB/ or at the Sports & Civic Center, Sixth Street and Boardwalk. The cost is $35 per play.
