Spring Soccer

Spring soccer is right around the corner. Games are scheduled to begin Saturday April 6th and will run for 6 weeks. Spring soccer is a continuation of fall soccer. Players on a fall team will remain on that team for the spring. You need to take no action.

New players can register in the spring to join a soccer team. Players will be placed on existing teams that have openings while others may be placed on newly formed teams when we have enough to make a team. We will need new coaches so please consider volunteering.

If there are no existing openings, you may be asked to register on a wait list. This does not mean you won't get on a team. We will make every effort to place everyone on a new or existing team from the waitlist. Volunteering to coach even if you are on a waitlist is helpful as we then know we have a coach to form a new team.

Registration is open February 1 - 28th.

If you have additional questions about soccer visit our soccer page.
