Spring 2024 Season Update
Spring 2024 Season Update (as of 21 March, 2024)
Soccer BallRegistration for the Spring 2024 season has closed for all players in all divisions. Volunteers can still register.

This weekend is the first weekend of the Spring season! This week is solely a practice week, the only practice session of the entire season. The first coach at a field (8am for all fields, 11am for Coed 1-2 teams on Fields 8 and 9) should pick up an equipment bag from the equipment setup area near the fields. Then the bag is left at the field until the last session at the field ends (1pm for all fields, 11am for Clinic teams on Fields 8 and 9) will return the bag. The remainder of the season will be all games.

Coaches should have reached out to their teams with information, schedule details, etc. by now. If you have not heard from your coach, contact your Division Coordinator (check the Division page on our website for your coordinator’s name and email) for information.

Schedules have been posted to SportsEngine and our website. Make sure to download and log into the SportsEngine app using the same email address used for player registration to see your team and schedule.

Make sure to follow our Facebook page for updates, special dates and additional information.
