Teams
Each team will have approximately 8-10 players.
Coaches will hold a player draft after registration to choose players and organize teams.
The draft determines how players are assigned to respective teams.
Pre-existing teams will not be preserved. No guarantee of placement accommodations on a preferred team, with the only exception available to volunteer coaching staff.

NOTE: Coaches are responsible for notifying team members of upcoming practice and game schedules. Practice schedule determined by coach's schedule, field availability and various other factors. Parents can expect to be contacted by their coach in early September.

Games
Soccer Season game schedule will be announced following the player draft night, and each game will be one hour in duration. Teams are tentatively scheduled to play one game per week, each Saturday.  In the event of inclement weather, any cancelled games will be rescheduled as a doubleheader during another gameday or on Saturday 11/15.

Experience
Previous experience is not necessary.
Practices will include basic skills, teamwork drills, and game strategy.
Parents are encouraged to work with their children on techniques learned at practice.

Practice
Your coach will determine team's practice day / time and then notify team members via email, after draft has been completed.
Each team will have one practice per week, approximately 1 hour in duration, weekdays at the St. Lawrence field.

Schedule Accommodations
Once player registration is completed and closed for this sport a draft will be held.
Only after the draft can YAP coaches and staff inform parents of the practice day(s) for your child's team.
Practice Days are determined considering volunteer coach's schedule, field availability and various other factors.
We cannot guarantee accommodations will be available to solve for individual player's previously existing conflicts.

Again, keep in mind, in the event cancellations are required after September 5th, there will be a $20 surcharge retained.

We highly encourage all parents to volunteer to coach and/or assistant coach their child’s team.
