FALL 2022 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS FRIDAY, AUGUST 5
• We will have our traditional season of forming teams, having parent coaches, with practices during the week and games on Saturdays at Taft Elementary School. Practices are during the week and day/ time is dependent upon the coach's schedule. If you want to dictate when your child practices then please coach!
• For all new players (new to this division and/or league), there will be an evaluation day, in order to see the skill level of each player. This is to ensure balanced skill levels on each team. Evaluations are only for U8 Boys & Girls and U10 Boys & Girls, Sunday, August 7. A sign up will be sent out.
• The majority of divisions will be separated by gender. Schoolyard and U6 are currently coed in order to keep the number of teams high. Invite everyone you know to sign up, to ensure high enrollment which creates more teams!
• If you are unsure of which division your child falls under, the system will place your child accordingly, based on their birth year. We do not make exceptions and move players out of their divisions. Detailed age information can be found here.
• Games will start after Labor Day on Saturday, September 10, 2022. 8U and below all play at Taft Elementary School in Orange, 10U and older will travel and have home games at Taft.
• Practices typically start the end of August, if we have enough coaches that sign up. If we don't have enough coaches, practices will be delayed. Please sign up to coach, even if you don't have experience; we have tools to help! Each coach chooses the practice day/ time so as a coach, YOU get to dictate your practice times (Mon-Fri, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm at Taft Elementary School or Handy Park).
• Every season is delayed because we have not had enough coaches sign up from the get go. All coaches are volunteer parents, siblings, family members or friends, etc. and we cannot run our program without YOU! Please help our region get off on the right foot by coaching. Even if you don't have any experience, we have tools to help. We can pair you with someone who may have experience, but can't commit to every practice or game. Please volunteer if you have ANY interest in helping! Sign up as a volunteer on our website by logging in and choosing: Volunteer 2022-2023 (MY2022).
• Board member positions are also needed, see descriptions here. Help us make the decisions that keep this region running smoothly!
• Practices and games will be at Taft Elementary School - 1829 N. Cambridge St., Orange, CA 92865. When the time changes, practices will move to a lighted field, location TBD. U10 and older will have some away games but all home games will be at Taft Elementary.
• ***VERY IMPORTANT*** In order to use our fields, we need to show proof of residency. For all families who do not live in Orange but do attend a school in Orange Unified, please provide proof of school attendance by sending us a screen shot of your child's Aeries Portal page. This is a requirement to play in our region if you live outside of Orange but attend a school in OUSD. Email a copy of the "Demographics" webpage to: [email protected] Instructions can be found here. You DO NOT have to live in Orange or attend an OUSD school to play in our region.
• Included in registration fee is a uniform, pictures and trophy.
• For uniform sizing, please refer to the Score Sizing Chart found here. Be sure to scroll all the way between 'youth sizes' and 'adult sizes', depending on your player's size.
