Q. When will I hear from my coach?
A. Your coach will receive the team roster the 2nd week of March. You should receive a phone call no later thanMarch 16th.
Q.How are teams selected?
A. We draft new teams every season. This gives the girls a chance to meet new players, and play for different coaches. This helps to broaden the players experiences on the soccer field. In the spirit of fair play this prevents a "super-team" from dominating every season, or a sub-par team from losing every season.
Q. Can I request a coach?
A. No we do not allow for coaches requests. Only a coach and assistant coach may request to be paired together. We honor one special request per player (friend or carpool). Our goal is to balance teams as much as possible. We will always keep same-age-group siblings together (unless parents want them separated). We will not honor "daisy-chain" requests (Mary requests, Jane, Jane request Jill, Jill requests Joan).
Q. When are practices?
A. This is determined by the team coach. There is usually 1 practice per week for 45 to 90 minutes (Mini Mites and Pee Wee - not mandatory).
Q. Where are practices?
A. This is determined by the coach. Coaches may practice at any public school field. You may not practice at Higgins, Geik Park, Veterans Park or Phillips Park.
Q. I do not feel my daughter is ready to move up, can she play down this season?
A. We’re sorry, but your child must play in their age group. We get this question a lot. Your child will adapt quickly. Offer plenty of support and encouragement, and she will do well.

A. For Recreation Soccer there is a registration fee of $55.00 for 1 child, and $30.00 for each additional sibling.

Q. What are the fees if I have a carded travel player in your league?
A. Your fee is $30.00 for each player registered in Rec. soccer. Your work bond and fund raiser fees are per family, and are paid through your travel team.
Q. What is a work bond check?
A. At registration each family is required to send a $75 check as bond for work.
The league asks for 2 hours of volunteer work. At the completion of work the check is returned to the family.
If volunteer work is not completed, the check is cashed.
Opt Out
A parent my choose to "Opt Out". This means the parent cannot or will not volunteer, and forfeits their bond to be cashed. If the registration is paid by credit card, the card is automatically charged the $75 ( an additional check is not required.)
Q. How do I volunteer for my work bond?
A. Go up to the concession stand at the first game, and schedule a time. It can be before, during or after your daughter’s game. You will be assigned a duty the on your scheduled day. If you are interested in 50/50 or team mom, let your coach know when he/she makes his initial call.
