Q. How old does my child need to be to play?
A. Minimum age is 4 years old. As long as your child turns 4 at any time this calendar year he/she is eligible.
Q. What age group will my child play in?
A. Our age groups are set in two year increments. U6, U8, U10, U12, U14. The "U" stands for under and the number is the age. If your child is 4 or 5 he/she would be in the U6 age group. Keep in mind that your child must be under the identified age for the entire year to play in that age group. Example: If your child is 9 years old, but will turn 10 at any time in this calendar year he/she would be considered 10 years old for the entirety of the year and would be placed on a U12 team.
Q. How are the teams assembled?
A. Teams are assembled by age, sex, returning players, player's skill level, player/parent requests, and team size
A. All the teams are divided into age groups encompassing a two year range (ex. U8 would be children 6 or 7 years old and not to turn 8 years old any time with the calendar year.)
B. All age ranges after U6 are separated into girl and boy teams.
C. Team sizes are limited so preference is granted to returning players.
D. Players identified by coaches as able to play up to a higher age group are permitted to do so if there is room on the team he/she wishes to play on and the head coach accepts the player.
F. Players, Parents can request to be on a team with a particular coach and or other players. These are requests and we will do all we can to accommodate but we cannot guarantee these will be satisfied.
E. Team size is limited to allow adequate playing time for all players. Team sizes are based on the number of players fielded during a regular season match plus sufficient substitution players. Team sizes: U6 and U8: 8 players are fielded between 2 fields and 4 substitutes (10 max), U10: 7 fielded players plus 3 substitutes (12 max), U12: 9 fielded players plus 4 substitutes (14 max), U14 and up: 11 fielded players and 6+ substitutes (17-20 max)
G. Once teams are filled up all other players will be put on a wait list. If an accepted player drops out the first one on the list (by registration date and time) is asked to replace that player. If there are enough players to form a second team, and a coach is found to manage a second team there will be a skills day where all players will need to attend and the coaches will draft players. If no team becomes available all fees will be refunded.
