INFO FOR FALL 2024

SAVE THE DATE! 

 
Fall Rec player evaluations will be held for U8 CoEd, U11 Boys, U11 Girls and U14 CoEd!
 

The purpose of this evaluation process is to help our league better understand the skill sets and experience of each registered player in an effort to form more balanced teams, so that everyone has more fun!

  • This is a low/no-stress evaluation. All players will still be placed on a team regardless of performance or prior experience.
  • The evaluation will take just over an hour, including a fun warmup and multiple small sided games (3v3, 4v4, 5v5).
  • Players will need to bring: cleats, shin guards, soccer ball, water.
  • Evaluations will run rain/shine - just like a game.
  • Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your posted time for check in.

Below are the club's registration and team-building policies. Please read through this information in its entirety

Recreational divisions operate on a “soccer year” that starts in the fall, and carries through to spring of the next calendar year. New teams are organized every fall.

Players registering in the U8 and older divisions will undergo evaluations in an effort to form balanced teams. Evaluations will happen once per soccer year. Players evaluated for the fall season will not be re-evaluated if returning for the spring season. 

It is our goal to place players returning in the spring on the same teams whenever possible.

  • Player participation may change in the spring which can dramatically change team makeup
  • Coaches not returning can also affect placement
  • Players registering for the spring only may be placed where needed

A parent volunteering to coach a team will have their child placed on the team coached unless otherwise requested during registration, or if they are in a different age division.

Brothers or sisters in the same division will be placed on the same team unless otherwise requested during registration.

A coach may request one parent to be an assistant. The assistant must request to be placed with the head coach. The assistant coach will have their child placed on the team coached unless otherwise requested during registration, or if they are in a different age division.

Sponsors may indicate that they want their child to be on the team sponsored.

A request not to be placed with a specific coach will be honored. The player will be placed on a team based on need.

During registration, one request to accommodate carpooling will be accepted. The request must be mutual with the other player to be honored.

No requests for specific coaches, or to play with specific players will be honored.

Note: players may submit requests to play UP a division, but not to play DOWN to a younger division
