Soccer Program
Alpine currently does not provide its own youth soccer program. We are in the process of evaluating requests for restarting the program from residents. If your child is interested in soccer for the spring season, several of the school systems, groups in the area, and the City of Walker are offering a selection of programs. Meanwhile, work on the soccer fields at the Alpine Sports Complex will be continuing this spring.
We'll keep you updated on the status of the soccer program.
