Marshfield Missouri Fall Youth Soccer Registration Under Way

The 2009 Fall Youth Soccer Registration will be held Monday (August 17) from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. at Marshfield City Hall (798 S. Marshall St.).

If you cannot attend registration, we will accept registrations during business hours next week starting on Tuesday; we are open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. However, we strongly encourage you to attend on Monday – this will help us in faster preparation of teams.

Please note that this is a RECREATIONAL league – no experience necessary!

COSTS & REGISTRATION PROCEDURE: Cost is $30.00 per child ($35.00 if you live outside the city limits); unfortunately, we do not offer multi-child discounts. A team shirt is included with your registration. The only other items your child will need to participate are shin guards (available locally at The Sports Shop and Wal-Mart), a soccer ball, and a good pair of running shoes (cleats may also be worn). We do NOT require children to have a physical before participating; you do not need to bring your child to the registration, and we do not require a birth certificate.

LEAGUE INFORMATION: Children ages 2-15 (must be born on July 1, 1994 or later) are welcome to participate. We welcome ALL area children. Children that played in the Spring league will be placed on the same team in the Fall.

GAMES & PRACTICES: We will play a six week, seven game season, with play starting on September 12. Games are held on Saturday mornings at Rotary Park (next to City Hall); practices are held one time per team per week (5:30 p.m. or later on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday of Friday; coaches determine practice days and times).

Coaches are always needed! If you decide to coach, your child will be placed on your team.

AGE GROUPS: A child may move up to the next league if he/she is within one year of that age group. Children cannot be moved down to a younger age group. Siblings will be placed on the same team if they play in the same league.

Age groups are as follows:
· League 1: Born July 1, 2003, and later.
· League 2: Born between July 1, 2001, and June 30, 2003.
· League 3: Born between July 1, 1998, and June 30, 2001.
