Volunteer Requirements

Due to the complexity and time to run a sport the size of soccer, we will be requiring each family to provide two hours of volunteer time per player. If this is not a possibility, you can pay a $60 fee to opt out. The $60 fee will be used to pay someone to do the work a volunteer would normally do. 

Age Brackets
Soccer is open to ages 3 through 12.  Except for Academy and U6, playing ages are determined by the player's age as of August 31. Players are allowed to play up an age bracket (and only upon approval by the soccer director), but never down.

Mandatory Evaluations
Mandatory Skills Evaluations for U8, U10, and U13 are 8/7- 8/8/2023.  This, along with the summer practices, allows coaches to pick evenly matched teams.
