We will do everything we can to accommodate friend requests during the team formation process each Saturday. Outgoing and energetic parents are encouraged (but not required) to volunteer on game days to assist our staff with coaching/refereeing games.

*The Select League format is well suited for experienced players that are passionate and confident on the field of play. Players are assigned to a specific team roster for Select League games on Saturdays but are still free to choose which days/times/locations they’d like to practice at during the week. We require a higher commitment level on game day attendance for players that participate in the SelectLeague due to each team having a limited number of available players assigned to each roster. Players should be willing to practice with a ball at home for 15-20 minutes per day.

Required items for players to have:
1) Shin Guards - Required for practice and games
2) Water Bottle - Required for practice and games

Optional items worth considering for U7/U8 Academy League:
1) Uniform: Orange shirt & socks w/ white shorts - Not required to participate in Saturday games. Practice pinnies will be provided for players that don't have uniform kits on game days. *Uniforms kits are valid for one full seasonal year (Fall 2020 season + Spring 2021 season = seasonal year).

2) Soccer Cleats - Optional but recommended

If you miss your practice day you are allowed to drop in for a make up practice at any of our other locations during the week.
