Grade 3 and 4 players will receive team assignment via email in August, but will get schedule, field assignments and practice schedule from coaches.

Grade 3& 4 coaches will hold one weekday practice at time to be determined by coach. There are no additional practices for grade 1 & 2.
Grade 3 & 4 Clinics: 4 weeks of optional skill clinics are made available on Wed. afternoons (Sept. 10-Oct 1). There will be two time slots per age group/gender running from 1-5:45 pm(private school players can attend later times). You will be assigned a time slot based on your school in mid August. These are optional and are for the players who are really interested in improving their skills with some serious soccer training.
COST: Fee is $85 for grade 3, $65 for grades 1&2 with a late fee of $25 per player assessed after June 20, 2007. An additional $15 is charged for payments by check. Our credit card payment is very secure. Credit card numbers are not stored in the system and encryption is used. Processing and chasing down checks is also very time consuming and difficult. We encourage you to process payment by credit card. NOTE: There is no longer a family maximum. The soccer board has voted to discontinue this discount effective for Fall 2006 season.
Refund Policy: Full Refund (less $10 processing fee) up to June 29, 2008, 50% refund June 29- July 30. No refund after July 30. Late fees have been increased. Late registrations are very time consuming and disruptive to teams and coaches. Please sign up on time in order to be assured a place on a team. Teams will be formed in July and a player must be registered in order to be placed on a team. If you are not signed up when teams are formed you will be placed on a team as space is available in late August.
TEAM PLACEMENT: For grades 1,2, and fall of grade 3, age group coordinators try to set up teams with at least two players from a school together. Teams are mixed with at least 2 schools per team. Requests can not be made to be placed with a specific friend or coach. Head and assistant coaches can make a request to be paired together. For spring grade 3 and fall grade 4, teams are picked in a round robin fashion by the coaches with the goal of making equally skilled teams. While they try to pick players to have school mates, it is not always possible.
