IMPORTANT Information for all levels of soccer below
Registration for the Fall 2024 Season is now Open
The following registration is for all levels of Soccer: Pre K, Kindergarten, 1-2nd Grade and 3rd - 8th Grade. Below you will find information relevant for both Recreational (Rec) and Select
Last year we had over 1,000 players in the FALL. Below is a detailed overview of the program. PLEASE be sure to review your child's age group in detail before moving forward:
-
WE NEED VOLUNTEER COACHES. This is a huge program that requires a lot of coaches to make it work. We will only roster teams with 2-3 coaches per team of approximately 10-18 players depending on grade. If we do not have enough coaches, we will need to process refunds until we are able to get to an acceptable player/coach ratio per level. If you are not that familiar with running a practice session or a game as a coach we will provide resources to help you. You will not be alone.
-
Recreation Soccer – All levels--everyone who signs up is placed on a team and plays. Assuming enough coaches.
-
Select Soccer – More competitive teams are made up of players following a try out. For 2016 Birth Year and older, and all players must attend at least one try out with their birth year players to make a team. More details are available on the All-Sports Soccer web page.
-
All players MUST play Recreation Soccer – details about dates and times for practices are below. The only players that can play Select that are not signed up for Recreation are those that are on an out of town Club soccer team that does not play in the Northern Counties Soccer League. This means Select Players MUST play Recreation Soccer and Select or be on a Club Team, and a Select team. Select Players must play in Rec Games and are encouraged to attend as many practices as they can, but the priority is attending games. The Rec games will not conflict with Select games. If they fail to attend Rec games, it will impact their ability to play in their select games.
-
When registering your child, please remember that you need to base registration on the grade your child will entering as of September 2024 All levels are grade specific and this is VERY important.
