Players on the U10 and 12 teams should have a size 4 ball, and players U14-18 should have a size 5 ball to bring with them to games each week along with their own water bottle. 

REGISTRATION DETAILS

-Registering your child is based on birth date. Birthdays go with the year, not the season, so for example: if your child turns 12 any time in 2023, your child would be on the U12 team (MYSA rules and regulations for registering players).

We also group our players for summer soccer as the following for both girls and boys unless we have enough players to avoid combining two ages:

9s and 10s = U10 team

-U10 teams play Saturday jamboree games against 2-3 teams each Saturday morning beginning late May through early July. Each Saturday the teams participating will meet at one location to play their jamboree games. Game locations will rotate between the teams that are participating. Our U9/10 teams only play in our two tournaments in the summer: 3v3 Rotary Tournament and Rotary Cup Tournament since games are played Saturdays.

11s and 12s = U12 team

13s and 14s = U14 team

15s and 16s = U16 team

17s and 18s = U18 team

Depending on the number of players we have, we adjust these accordingly to ensure we have enough teams to play in the summer.

-Registration deadline for summer soccer is April 15th, 2024
