How to Register

All announcements for registration dates and such are on our Facebook page.  Please follow our page to stay up-to-date on our happenings.  

All registrations will be placed onto a waitlist until coaches have volunteered and teams 
can be created.
Due to field and parking usage, there is a player cap for all divisions to safely allow kids to participate. 
Kids are placed on teams on a first-come-first-served basis, so sign up early.

All of our registrations are done online. 

Our season runs on the school year. So kids sign up in the fall and play fall and spring soccer.
IF by chance kids drop out for the spring and there is room on a team, then we open up registration for the spring to those ages that have openings.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page and if we are able to add any players for spring, it will be announced there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I wait to register to make sure my child will be added to a team?
No.  It is best to register early.  If you are unable to register early, you can still register as long as the registration is open.  After registration is closed and teams are established, there is no guarantee we will be able to place you on a team.  AYSO National has set team size requirements and we can not always "just add" to a team.  

When will players be called?
Coaches will first contact players in August for the fall and April for the spring. The coaches will contact you and give all the information needed in regards to practice days & times. Each coach sets his or her own practice schedule. All of our teams play at the Weis Soccer Complex in Elysburg.  U10 & U12 do travel to other areas for games.

Can a player or parent choose the team their child plays on? Can my child play on the same team as a friend?
NO, Only Coaches and Assistant Coaches are allowed to have their own children on their team. All other children are assigned randomly to achieve a fair balance of players based on age and ability as well as gender, if applicable. 

Can families request that siblings be on the same team?
YES, siblings will be placed on the same team at your request. The siblings must be in the same Division or one child may "play up" with approval from the RC. Please do not assume that siblings will be placed on the same team without your request.

It's the middle of August or April and I haven't heard from my coach.  What should I do?
Please don’t panic if you hear of or see teams practicing and your child has not been called. Not all teams start practicing at the same time. Also, some of the coaches may still be out of town on vacations or have requirements they need to complete prior to receiving their teams.  If your child hasn’t been called by the 10th of the month, please contact the registrar @ [email protected]
