The CHLD league allows players U13 and above to continue to play intramural soccer. This program is being conducted in cooperation with CASA, Hershey, and LDSA. The program is designed as an alternative to the travel programs for players who are involved in other activities and do not have the time or desire to play travel soccer.

The Recreation program is for grades 7 through 11.

The program plays 8v8 soccer on reduced sized fields (generally 60x80 yards).

The league is divided into 4 divisions:

Girls Junior division- grades 7 & 8 (U13/U14)

Boys Junior division- grades 7 & 8 (U13/U14)
