SOCCER FAQ's

When does the Fall 2014 Season run? The Fall 2014 Game Season is scheduled to begin September 6 and will end October 26. Practice begins a week or two before games. When are games? Games are played primarily on weekends but may have an occasional mid-week game. Saturday games can be from 9am to 7pm. Sunday games are anywhere from 12pm to 7pm. Mid-week games generally begin at 6:00pm, unless requested differently by the coach. The U5 & U6 instructional program generally plays in 60 minute blocks on Saturdays however coaches have the option of practicing during the week instead of before the games. When do they practice? U7 and older practice days and fields are determined by the “Practice Field Lottery” held at the general coaches meeting. The time is determined by the coaches’ availability. U5 & U6, the coaches have the option of practicing before the games or during the week, depending on coaches’ availability. When will I be notified that my child has been placed on a team? The coaches will call the players approximately 2 weeks before the season starts. They receive their rosters at the general coaches meeting, held 2-3 weeks prior to the season starts. How are teams determined? Fall Seasons - With the exception of the U5 program, all returning coaches are allowed to request players from their previous season if also requested to do so by the player’s parent. Once those players are chosen, an Age Group Coordinator distributes the remaining players and rosters are viewed and approved by ALL the coaches in the division. Due to roster maximums enforced by the State Association and other factors, not all requests for placement can be honored.

Spring Seasons - The Spring season is a continuation of the Fall. Teams from the Fall remain together unless there are specific requests. New players for the Spring season will fill any holes existing on a roster or will form new teams. I live in Plymouth Township or have a Plymouth mailing address, why do I pay more? At this time, because no Plymouth Township taxes are put toward recreation services, Plymouth Township Residents and persons that live in Northville with Plymouth mailing addresses do not qualify for the lower City of Plymouth resident rates. City of Plymouth Residents contribute to the support of the City of Plymouth Recreation Department through their property taxes, therefore, they receive a lower rate.
