When are practices?
Practices begin July 6th. Depending on the number of teams in each division, teams will practice an average of 2-3 days/week (usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) until Opening Day. Practices usually start around 6 PM with the understanding that divisions with more teams may have to begin as early as 5:30. We will finalize practice schedules as quickly as possible after Registration has closed.
When are games?
Games begin Opening Day, August 1. Regular Season begings August 3 and ends at the conclusion of Championship Week (tentatively scheduled for the week of September 14). Games are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays; however, if weather requires us to cancel several games, we may need to be flexible with our schedules. Our goal is to communicate schedule changes with you as quickly as possible.
Who plays in Championship Week?
Only U8, U11, and U15 play Championship Week.
What equipment is required?
Each player is required to have his/her own soccer ball (sizes vary by age division) and shinguards with socks over them during play. Players in U8, U11, and U15 must have official soccer cleats; players in 3s and 4-5 may wear sneakers or official soccer cleats. Each player needs his/her own water bottle for practices and games. Players must have solid, black shorts for game days -- no stripes or large logos.
