The Spring Select Program provides an ongoing soccer experience for all players (5U+) with average to above-average soccer skills. Whereas the Fall program is open to all players, the Spring Program is intended more for the serious soccer players.
- Registration for this Season is open.
- Registration Fees are $150 plus fees
- Teams will start be formed the mid-January and you will be notified shortly before the season begins in mid-February.
- Teams will be two year combinations in order to form a proper gaming circuit for the players
- The Spring season begins in mid-February and ends in mid-May.
- Most teams will begin practices the week of February 12th.
- First Games are March 2nd.
- Teams practice during the week (2 times for 10u and older, 1 time for 8u and younger), pending field permit confirmation.
- Games for 10u and above are predominantly on Saturdays, but can be on Sundays.
- Divisions will be a two-year divisions, unless there is a very large number of players. (5u/6u combo, 7u/8u combo, etc)
- There is limited space...NOT ALL PLAYERS THAT REGISTER WILL GET PLACED (but refunds will be issued if you are not placed)...priority is given to Fall Players that register on time, with existing volunteer parents having a higher priority.*
- Players are expected to have a high level of commitment to their teams and need to attend the majority of practices and games. We do understand that some players will play an additional sport during the season - just make sure your coach knows.
- Coaches, in 10u and above, are allowed to "select" their teams from their own fall players, however, remaining open spots on teams are drafted based on talent, participation in the Fall program, and parent involvement in the Region.
- The number of players/teams in each division is subject to the availability of certified coaches, referees and field space.
- There are no playoffs in Spring soccer...awards are given based on "medal round" competition for 10u and above.
- There is an optional Spring Area Tournament for those teams that want to play (teams fund themselves) for 10u and above.
