Do you have a summer or spring season?

No. Rec soccer is a fall season.

Make up games?

Fields are rarely closed, but may be. If this is the case due to weather or unforeseen circumstances outside of our control, we do not offer make up games.

What is the youngest age allowed to sign up?

The youngest ages we would accept would be 4.5 years old by August -- and this is entirely up to you as a parent or what you think your child could handle.

What if we have a schedule conflict?

Any scheduling conflicts would be communicated with and discussed with your coach.

For example: If you are going to need to practice on certain days to make soccer work, you will not know your practice schedule until late July... at that point you will discuss this with your coach. DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT THIS. DISCUSS WITH YOUR COACH and they will talk with our rec director as needed.

If the team you are on doesn't work out, we may be able to offer you a spot on another team with a different weekly practice schedule: However THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED -- and the spot you leave behind will be given to a player on our wait list.

If you play many sports and have a very busy and inflexible schedule you may not want to sign up for rec soccer.

Can an older player play with younger players?

No. Younger players may request to play in an older division, but older players may not play down in age.
