What equipment is required for my player?
Soccer ball (5-8U size 3, 9-12U size 4, 13U and up size 5), shin guards, cleats (5/6U may wear tennis shoes, but cleats are recommended.) Uniform for games – will depend upon age as to what this entails. If you need assistance for any of these items, please contact the Club. We have items available that may work for you.
Can my player wear earrings, jewelry, hair clips or hard casts?
No jewelry other than medic alert is permitted. Hair clips that are hard can injure a player and are not allowed. Players with a cast may be allowed to play if the cast is soft wrapped. The final determination for any playing is up to the Referee.
What will the practice schedule be for my player's team?
The practice schedule is determined by the coach and can vary. U7/U8 teams practice twice a week, once with Tekker's and once with their team; U9 and above often practice twice a week for an hour or a little more and can be any day of the week that works for the coach. The best way to know what the schedule will be is to be the one to set the schedule - become a coach. If interested in coaching, please contact a director of coaches and register today.
When will I hear from my player's coach?
Coaches receive their rosters about 3 weeks before the first game and after the Coaches meeting. You will not hear from them until after that time period.
What if my player decides not to play or is no longer able to play after I've completed registration?
Depending upon the reason and how far into the season the request is made, some of the registration amount may be refunded upon Board approval. Processing fees will be withheld from the refund amount. Please see our Operations Manual for more information.
Can I help out the coach for my player's team?
Yes – but only if you register. Due to governing bodies rules and federal law, we can only have those who register (completing a thorough background check and trainings) interact with the players. We would love to have you help –contact the Director of Coaches and complete your registration today.
How do I know if the person with my team is approved to assist?
You can check out the approved list anytime. This is updated every Friday with the most recent information.

What if I don't agree with a call a referee made?
The referees do their best with what they can see and how they feel the situation played out. If you have any concerns, please contact our Director of Referees. It is not ok, under any circumstances, for you to yell at the referee or come onto the field and confront them. Doing this can get you removed from the Club.
We have an unruly parent on our team or the team that we played against - is there anything that can be done?
Please advise the club of the situation by contacting our President with the details and, if applicable, any evidence. They will help deal with the situation with that person/club.
Are dogs allowed at the soccer complex?
Yes. Please be sure to clean up after them and keep them on a close leash. Any owners or animals who are not controlled will be asked to leave.
How else can I volunteer?
We are always in need of people who can help out in the concession stand, run a mower, willing to help paint lines on fields, general clean up, or help with field days. You can find a sign up list with all of our current needs under the 'Volunteer' tab in the top menu.
How do I contact a board member?
