Bow United
The Bow Soccer Club and the
Bow Athletic Club are working together to create
Bow United, a soccer program which will provide an
opportunity for all the children of Bow to play soccer regardless of
ability and experience. Programs will be available for
children in grades 1 through 8.
In this cooperative effort, Bow Soccer Club and Bow Athletic Club
will join efforts to more efficiently field viable competitive
and/or recreational teams for all youth divisions. Further,
Bow Youth Soccer will make more efficient use of available town
fields and meet a range of interests. We are excited to be
able to introduce young children to the sport and provide an
opportunity to play at varying levels of competitiveness.
Team play is offered for those who wish to play at
a recreational level (for fun) and for those who are the more
competitive nature and want to really hone those skills. Our
Classic teams meet the needs of those who want to get out and play
at a low cost. Our Challenger teams push those kids who want
to focus on soccer at a more competitive level. Bow Athletic
Club handles the day-to-day operations of all Classic teams and Bow
Soccer Club operate all Challenger teams, including the young age
