Summer Future Stars In-House
Future Stars Summer In-House is GRASC’s coed, in-house soccer program for players U10 and under, focused on fun, age-appropriate skill development, and positive game experiences. The program emphasizes learning through play, teamwork, and building confidence in a supportive, local environment.
Ages
Appropriate for players U10 and under.
All Future Stars teams are coed, including at the U10 level.
Age groups are formed using the school-year age-group model (August 1 – July 31) and may be combined into age-appropriate bands to support development and roster balance.
- U10 CO-ED Birthdates: 1/1/2016 to 7/31/2018
- U8 CO-ED Birthdates: 8/1/2018 to 7/31/2020
- U6 CO-ED Birthdates: 8/1/2020 to 7/31/2022
U10 Girls – Program Options (Summer 2026)
For Summer 2026, GRASC is offering two program options for U10 girls as part of a pilot effort to support participation and long-term development in the girls’ program.
- Future Stars In-House (COED) – A local, in-house experience focused on fun, development, and learning through play (this page).
- Summer Travel Soccer (Girls-only) – A travel option with regular practices and games against other area girls’ teams.
At this time, GRASC does not anticipate having enough registered female players to support a girls-only in-house team at the U10 Future Stars level without repeated matchups throughout the season. For that reason, the Future Stars in-house option for U10 remains coed.
Families should register for one program option that best fits their player’s interest, readiness, and desired level of commitment.

2026 Summer Future Stars
Future Stars – 2026 Season
Future Stars is Grand Rapids Area Soccer Club’s coed, in-house soccer program for players U10 and under, focused on fun, age-appropriate skill development, and positive game experiences.
The 2026 Future Stars season runs May–June, with the exact start date dependent on weather and field conditions. GRASC will communicate start dates and schedules as soon as fields are ready for play.
For the 2026 season, Future Stars will use the school-year age-group model (August 1 – July 31) for all programming. This change helps align players more closely with their school peers and provides consistency throughout the year.
Players will be grouped in age-appropriate bands with an emphasis on learning through play, teamwork, and enjoyment of the game. During the transition to the new age-group model, some players may fall between age groups. GRASC will work with families to make the best placement for each player, prioritizing development, safety, and a positive experience.
Final team groupings, schedules, and field locations will be shared closer to the start of the season.
