Important Information and additional info

Evaluations:

Children with birth years 2009-2014 will be evaluated Tuesday, February 11th. 
Children with birth years 2015 and 2016 will have evaluations Wednesday, February 12th. Evaluations will all take place at Field Day Park. 
There are no evaluations for 2017 & younger.

If a child cannot attend evaluations they will be assigned to a team via blind pick.

*************If your player desires to play up an age group you must register first for your assigned birth year and then email us that you wish to play up. Playing down is not allowed in 2016 & older, and is at the commissioner's discretion for younger leagues*********

Practice and game times:  Due to the large number of participants in our program, it is not uncommon for practice times of game times for our older divisions (U10 and older) to start as late as 7:30 and run through 8:30-45ish.   Unfortunately we have to take advantage of every shred of field space available to us, and this has forced us to run later into the evening.  Full disclosure, all U10 teams will play or practice at least occasionally at this later time.  We try to prioritize the younger kids earlier, but due to field constraints and/or Coach availability these later sessions do occur.  


Special Requests: Although we strive to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee this. IF you have any days you cannot practice, please put this in your special requests. (U10 (2016) & older teams are determined via draft, therefore friend requests are not guaranteed. This helps create balanced teams.)

YMCA Discounts: We were not offering YMCA membership discounts this season. Most games and practices have moved from the Y facility.

Volunteers: We are a fully volunteer run league. Please consider sharing your time and volunteering this season. We always have a need for coaches, no experience necessary! We provide a coaches clinic, training materials and equipment! Follow the volunteer link on your account home page to sign up. If you have any questions, please let us know!


We are proud to announce our partnership with Clover Elite FC! This is a great partnership with the same common goal, to keep our kids local and to prepare to make the school teams even better! We will work together to improve our children's soccer! It's not about building the best team, it's about building better players for all those that participate! Look for more info later this season about our LW Elite challenge teams for 2015 and 2016!!

What if I cannot make evaluations:

While it is very important to be at evaluations, we understand that things may come up that prevent attendance. Players will not be eligible to be drafted by a coach if they did not attend evaluations, but players will still be assigned to a team. Evaluations are only for age groups U10+.
