Our Developmental & Competitive Program fields boys and girls teams in all age groups from under 8 to under 19.
Our EWG teams play teams from other associations around the region in both league play and tournaments. Official competitive rules & regulations for our Developmental and Competitive Program can be found HERE .
The spring competitive season is held parallel to the EWG Soccer spring rec season but is administered by the RI Youth Super Liga. The Super Liga sets the schedules for matches that are held throughout the state and are typically played on either Saturdays or Sundays. Rescheduled matches may also be held on weekday evenings but generally the coach will ensure that most everyone is available before committing to this. Half of the matches will be away and could be anywhere from Woonsocket to Westerly. The parent and/or player is responsible for transportation to and from these matches.
Additionally, some coaches may also choose to enter their teams into indoor soccer leagues and/or outside tournaments during the season. Participation in these is strictly voluntary and choosing not to participate will not affect the child's position on the competitive team. Please be aware that each of these venues offer different roster requirements and the coach may not be able to invite every player to participate. If you are interested in starting a second team to help ensure all players have the opportunity to play, please contact the appropriate coach.

FEES FOR 2025-2026 WILL BE DETERMINED ONCE GUIDANCE IS RECEIVED FROM STATE OF RI AND SOCCER RI. THERE IS NO COST FOR INITIAL REGISTRATION.

Practices for spring and fall are two times a week at the EWG Soccer Complex.. During the winter months, practices are held at the Jr./Sr. High School, Wawaloam and possibly at Wide World of Indoor Sports North Kingstown.
The game schedule usually consists of eight games, being held one per week. Four of the games will be held at the EWG fields “Home” and the other four will be “Away” at fields located throughout Rhode Island. The parent and/or player is responsible for transportation to and from these matches and practices.
Please make sure that your player attends practice and arrives to the games on time (30-45 min. prior to the start time). Practicing as a team in an important part of the training as is warming up and stretching before games. Please notify the coach if you are running late or know that your child will be absent from a game or practice.
Winter Indoor Soccer - Typically the coach will choose to enter the team into 1-2 indoor sessions, usually held at Wide World of Indoor Sports in North Kingstown. Indoor is not mandatory and is not included into the competitive fee.
The first session generally starts in October and second session usually starts in January. Each session runs approximately 8-9 weeks long.
The costs associated with indoor vary by the age group and the number of players on a roster. Cost is calculated by what the indoor facility charges, divided by the number of players on the roster.
World Wide of Sports also require each player to have an ID made for separate fee of approximate $10.00 (subject to change).
Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard-court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball. The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity, and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.
It will be up to the description of the individual coach if the team will participate in a futsal league. The cost associated with Futsal is not included in competitive fees.
Contact our COMPETITIVE DIRECTOR for more info.
