What is included with my individual registration?

Can I request my child to be on the same team as a friend?
- All team placement requests can be made in the comments section of registration. Please note that our registration goes by birth year.
- If you request to play with someone in a different age group than your child, it is not a guarantee that they will be placed together. Often times the younger child will have to play up in the higher age group to accommodate these requests.
When will I find out what team my child is on and their schedule?
- You will receive an email with your child's team name and schedule about a week prior to our league start.
What equipment does my child need?
- Flat bottomed, non-marking shoes. ie. Sneakers or indoor soccer shoes. Cleats and turf shoes are NOT allowed.
- Shin guards. You cannot play without them and we do not sell them at our facility.
- Soccer socks to cover your shin guards.
- Comfortable athletic shorts.
- A water bottle. We do not have a water fountain at our facility, however we do have a water jug that can be used to refill bottles.
Who will coach my child's team?
- House teams rely on a parent volunteer(s) to step up as a coach. Being a house team coach means helping to run substitutions on the sidelines and maintaining a positive attitude towards your players and encouraging the same from them. Coaching experience is not required. Please note in the comments of your child's registration if you would be willing to be a house team coach.
Will there be practices?
- We do not provide practices or practice times with our futsal league. You will only be playing games on the weekends.
