Practice Availability
Please let us know all practice times that you are available. You may rank them in order of preference. Note that Spring practice fields are very limited as other sports take priority over soccer since it is their primary season. We do not have our field permits yet, so please be aware that it is possible that not all days of the week will be available.

5U/6U/7U/8U will practice once per week. Practice time slots are 3:30-4:15pm and 4:15-5:00pm until Daylight Savings Time begins on March 10. Slots then become 4:00-4:55pm and 5:00-5:55pm.

10U/12U/14U will be guaranteed one practice once per week, with an additional practice slot based on field availability. Practice time slots are 3:30-4:15pm and 4:15-5:00pm until Daylight Savings Time begins on March 10. Slots then become 3:30-4:55pm and 5:00-6:25pm. There will be a limited amount of time slots available under the lights at 4:00-5:25pm, 5:30-6:55pm and 7:00-8:25pm. Every team will be given one time slot before any gets a second. Those that take the earlier slots are much more likely to get a second slot.

Please rank all time slots you are available in the box below (for example "1-Mon 4:15pm, 2-Fri 3:30pm...")

Is there a coach you would like to be paired (head/assistant) with?

If you coached last fall and are a Head Coach this Spring, please list any players from your Fall 2018 roster you would like to select for your Spring roster. Note that Spring Assistant Coaches do not get to select players. With Balanced Teams a principle of AYSO, any additional player requests will not be honored. Coaches' children are always placed with their parents. All rosters will be completed by league management or via draft to balance teams as much as possible.

Any comments, questions, special requests? Would you be interested in becoming more involved and joining our region's board? We have the need for division coordinators, an assistant coach admin. and other positions.

Please save the evenings of February 5 and 7 - there will be a mandatory coach meeting one of those days.
