Our regular registration period for the 2010 season is
now closed, but we are accepting late registration packets at some age
groups with a $30 late
fee. Although we do our best to find a team for everyone who wants to play,
be aware that late registrants are placed on a waiting list and will not be
placed on teams until all players who registered during the regular
registration period have been accommodated.
To register, download the following two documents and follow the
instructions carefully. Add a $30 late fee per player to your total. Please
hand-deliver your completed packet to 1243 Marian Way and leave in the file
drawers on the front porch.

is no discount for multiple children from the same family.

Is registration on a first-come, first-served basis?
We do not track the order in which registration packets are
received during the regular registration period (through May
4). All registration packets received during this period are
treated the same. We will make every attempt to place every
player who registers during the regular registration period
onto a team. Registration packets received after May 4 are
considered late and will be placed on a waiting list in the
order in which they are received. Players who register late
will not be placed onto teams until every player in the same
age group who registered during the regular registration
period has been accommodated.
Will my child be grouped with teammates of the same age?
Our priority with team formation is for teams to be "age
pure." This means that within each age group we form
first-year and second-year teams where all players on the
team have birthdays in the same "soccer year." For example,
a first-year U10 team will have players who were born
between August 1, 2001 and July 31, 2002, and a second-year
U10 team will have players who were born between August 1,
2000 and July 31, 2001. However, depending on the number of
players who register in each age group, there are times when
we have to place first-year players on second-year teams and
vice versa.
Can my child play in a higher age group? While we
generally discourage playing in a higher age group (known as
"playing up"), it may be appropriate for some players.
Requests to play up will be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis. The club reserves the right to refuse such requests
if we do not feel that it would be in the best interest of
the player. In no case can a player play up more than one
age group. Under 6 players may not play up.
Can my child play in a lower age group? No. Playing
down is not permitted.
How do I make sure I get placed on my team from last
season? There is a place on the registration form to
indicate that you wish to return to your team from last
season. If a team returns, a player who was on the roster
last season is guaranteed a spot this season, as long the
player registers during the regular registration period.
Coaches are not permitted to cut returning players from
their rosters at the recreational level.
Why can you not guarantee that my child will be placed on
the team we request? We do our best to honor requests,
but it is not always possible due to roster size
limitations, age restrictions, and other factors. For
example, at U10 rosters are capped at 14 players. If more
than 14 players request a particular U10 team, the coach
will not be able to take them all. In addition, players who
were on a team last season who register during the regular
registration period have priority to return to that team.
Only after accommodating all returning players can a coach
accept new players. Please be aware that not getting the
team, coach, or teammates that you request does not
automatically entitle you to a refund. Any player who we are
able to place on any team is subject to our standard refund
policy.
What happens if I miss the regular registration period?
The regular registration period ends on May 4. We will
continue to accept registration packets after May 4, but you
will need to pay a $30 non-refundable late fee per player.
Players who register after May 4 will be placed on a waiting
list and will be placed on teams only after all players in
the same age group who registered by May 4 are accommodated.
I am registering my child late, but he is a returning
player. Is he still guaranteed a spot on his team from last
season? No. Only returning players who register during
the regular registration period are guaranteed a spot on
their team from last season. Players who register late
(after May 4) are placed on a waiting list and will be
placed on teams only after all players in the same age group
who registered during the regular registration period have
been accommodated.
When will we be notified about team placement?
Coaches must notify all players of their team placement by
June 30. In most cases you will hear from your coach in
early to mid June.
When are practices? Practices begin around August 1.
Most teams practice twice a week, on either
Mondays/Wednesdays or Tuesdays/Thursdays. Practices will be
between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Younger teams usually
practice for an hour at a time; older teams may practice
longer. Your coach will inform you of your practice schedule
when he or she calls to notify you about your team
placement. We do not assign practice times until after teams
are formed, so we cannot accommodate requests for a
particular practice schedule.
What equipment will my player need? Your player will
need soccer cleats, shin guards, and a water bottle. The
club will provide a uniform, which is to be worn at games
only and must be returned at the end of the season. The club
will also provide each player with one pair of soccer socks
to keep. We strongly encourage players to bring their own
ball to practices, but it is not required. If you do
purchase a ball, be sure to get the correct size. U6 and U8
players use a Size 3, U10 and U12 players use a Size 4, and
U14 and up players use a Size 5.
