CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS
Please visit our Refunds page for details.

• Teams will be formed based on volunteer coach availability in 6U - 19U.
  
• ALL players will register under the "2026 Spring Soccer" program (including Select or Extra).
• Please read about the spring season format below.
• The system will show you available programs based on player birth date (see the age determination chart to the right)
• Players play in same division as in the Fall 2025 season. In some cases, players who will be aging up in the following fall season, may be considered for playing up in Spring. Requests to "play up" should be made to your current division coordinator and will be considered based on the player's maturity, sportsmanship, skills, the balance of teams, and the enrollment in the affected divisions. 
• Note that the Age Determination system is changing in the Fall 2026 season; please read about this change on this page.
• 7U and 8U are combined into the 8U division; 8U will be playing 6 v 6 (no goalies).
• 14U - 19U divisions are by wait list only. We will assess those divisions and available volunteers in January.
• Players aged 3.5-5 may have program options - read more about our programs for Young Players

SPRING SEASON FORMAT

• The spring season in 6U & 8U is basically like the fall season - we follow our general player request policy (see below) for these divisions. We do allow for some player/coach requests in 10U and above in spring. Requests are never guaranteed. Our number one goal is to create divisions that foster a fair and fun playing experience for ALL teams.
• The 10U and above divisions are bound by the Area 11K rules for the Spring season. We offer REC (recreational) and SELECT play for 10U-14U. REC is our general "Core" program in which the vast majority of players will play. SELECT is intended for more competitive play and may not available in all divisions (to be determined by Area). 
• Fall EXTRA teams carry over and are expected to play in the EXTRA program for spring; in some cases, they may 'play up' in SELECT. The EXTRA coordinator and the Registrar will work with EXTRA coaches directly for spring placement. 
• In SELECT and the UPPER DIVISION (16U & 19U), our teams are "coach driven". This means our volunteer coaches can build/recruit teams.
• Coaches who want to play in SELECT will need to reach out to the division coordinator who will consult with the Coach Admin and Registrar to discuss team building. 
  
• Please note that even if players are requested/recruited for a team, those players must be registered by the first registration cut-off date, in order to be placed on the requested team. We will NOT hold places for players who aren't registered.
  

• Be sure ALL player/coach requests are added in Sports Connect during registration. If you forgot or need to add/update, log into your account and click on the pencil icon next to your player's name; look for your player's spring registration questions, complete the info, and click save/update.
• Coaches, please check in with your coordinator if you have questions.
