Practice schedules, including skill drills and practice games, are determined by each team’s coach. Teams are assigned by gender. All attempts are made to group players with children from the same school or neighborhood, however this is not always possible.
Youth who played on a team in the Fall 2023 session will use their same shirt and ball and remain on their same team for Spring 2024. If a replacement shirt is needed, there is a link for shirt replacement ($10) on the registration site.
The fee for new players for the Spring 2024 session only is $50/player. You will be assigned to a team from the Fall session that needs additional players and will receive a team shirt, a soccer ball, paid referees and, weather permitting, 6 games. There are no makeup games.
