SOCCER LEAGUE (FALL & SPRING)

Those registered by the deadline are guaranteed to play. Registrations received after the registration deadline will be placed on a waitlist and are not guaranteed placement on a team. Placement will only be done when an opening occurs. No players will be added to teams once games have begun. Due to the size and nature of the program, we cannot accept coach, player, friendship, or carpool requests. Please do not list these on the registration form.

The spring league provides an excellent opportunity for children of all ages and abilities (no experience necessary!) to stay fit, improve their motor skills, learn teamwork and have a great time. Grade-based teams ensure that players make new friends and play with their peers at all skill levels. The league is structured to limit roster size, maximize playing time on the field, and increase player development.

Many coaches are needed to make this a great league. Please consider volunteering as a coach. We provide equipment, training, and resources. Complete the bold section on the registration form, and be sure to provide an email address. If not enough coaches volunteer, the league is forced to have large teams, reducing playing time or limiting the number of teams within the league.
