Please see the confirmation email you received when you registered your child. It will provide you more specific information about the release date of practice schedules/receiving your first contact from your coach.

In general, you can expect to receive your practice schedule in mid-March and your game schedule in late March for the spring season. You can expect to receive your practice schedule in early August and your game schedule in mid-August for the fall season.

The club attempts to provide at least one hour of advanced notice in this situation. The website home page will be updated under latest news to communicate the decision. You will also receive either an email from a board member or an email from your coach.

9. Do you offer registration discounts for families registering multiple children?

We do not at this time.

10. Can we reuse our jersey from last season?

You can always reuse the reversible jersey if your child plays in-house.

Travel jerseys can typically be reused unless their is a conflict with jersey number when new teams are formed.

More information concerning the uniforms can be found here.

11. If my child played travel soccer in the fall, do I have to register him/her for the spring season since he/she will be on the same team?

Yes. You must register your child for each season he/she wants to participate.

12. I am registering my child for U9/U10 soccer and there are two options. I can register my child for in-house or travel. Which should I choose?

For the fall season, you should choose in-house unless your child participated in travel team tryouts and was selected for a travel team roster. You would have received notice that your child made a travel team via email.

For the spring season, you should choose in-house unless your child participated in travel soccer during the fall season.


13. Why is the age group cut-off changing from January 1st (birth year ages) to August 1st  (school year ages) starting with the 2026-2027 season?


The Aug. 1 age group cut-off most effectively reduces the number of “trapped players” in youth soccer and reduces negative impacts on these players at multiple stages of their career. “Trapped” players are those who, due to soccer age group cut-offs, are in an older soccer age group than their school year. Trapped players have significantly reduced competition opportunities and disrupted training experiences in 8th grade (when most of their team is in high school) and are similarly negatively impacted four years later when players from the older soccer age group, but who are still in high school, are moved down into the same soccer age group.

  • An Aug. 1 age group cut-off best balances the desire to reduce both the number of “trapped” players and the number of “force-ups” in youth soccer.
  • A Jan. 1 age group cut-off creates the highest number of trapped players and negatively impacted youth players.
  • No age group cut-off will eliminate all trapped players. States and counties throughout the country have widely different school year cut-offs, and this variance will always result in some number of trapped players or force-ups regardless of age group cut-off date.
  • There is no soccer developmental benefit to any specific age group cut-off.
  • Age group cut-offs have no correlation or relationship with level of play or level of soccer aspiration. Various soccer age group cut-offs are used across the world in youth soccer, in both amateur and professional programs.

 

14.  Can a player play up a year due to the new age group change?


A player is not allowed to play up a year due to the age group change.  Doing so would take away an opportunity for a player who is in the correct age group under the new guidelines.
