Teams may also choose to compete in one or more tournaments during the season, depending on age and skill level. Tournament expenses are not included in Registration fees.

*Games are played on two fields simultaneously with players divided by skill level and experience.
** Team formation is subject to enough players signing up in the age group.
U5-U8 players are placed on teams by the age group commissioners with consideration given to age, gender and skill level to produce balanced teams.
U9-U10 players will participate in an evaluation and will be assigned to a team by the Select Directors of Coaching before each fall season. Players who sign up after the evaluation will be assigned to teams in order until all available slots are taken or the final registration deadline has passed. New U9-U10 players in the Spring will be evaluated and assigned to existing teams.
U12 players and higher may be evaluated and assigned to teams depending on the number of players who register.
Specific team requests by players will not be considered unless there are special circumstances as determined by the age group commissioner and the VP's of Recreational Soccer.
All Fall players will return to the same team for the Spring season.
