small-sided soccer games with their team and the team coaches will coach the
team.
Q:
HOW DO WE REGISTER?
A:
With all our Recreation Programs, we use Online Registration. To register,
please go to the PSA website (www.plymouthsoccer.com)
and click on the “Winter Recreation Program” registration link and follow
the instructions.
Late registrations will be accepted, however, placement on a team
is on an as-available basis and not guaranteed.
Q:
WHAT GRADE SHOULD I REGISTER MY CHILD FOR?
A:
Register
your child for the grade they are CURRENTLY in.
Q:
CAN I REGISTER MY CHILD TO PLAY FOR A TEAM IN A HIGHER GRADE?
A:
We create teams based on grade. However, individual requests will be
considered. Please contact the Director, Recreation Coaching and he will
make the final decision after discussing the player’s ability/experience
with you.
Q:
HOW ARE TEAMS FORMED?
A:
All teams are formed at random, using the registration date/time as the
guide for team assignment.
We form
teams by grade, “play-with” request and school attended.
Q:
MY CHILD WOULD LIKE TO PLAY WITH A FRIEND, IS THIS POSSIBLE?
A:
Yes, we do allow “play-with” requests if both children request to
“play-with” each other at online registration.
Q:
WHEN ARE THE WINTER RECREATION PROGRAM SESSIONS?
A:
Sessions are held on Saturdays from 12:00pm-5:00pm from November to March
Q:
WHERE IS THE WINTER RECREATION PROGRAM CONDUCTED?
A:
At the Plymouth Creek Center Dome on the turf field
Q:
IS THERE A GAME SCHEDULE FOR THE TEAMS IN THE WINTER RECREATION PROGRAM?
A:
No. Each team will rotate, approx. every 10 minutes, and play against the
other PSA teams within their grade and gender.
Q:
CAN I DROP MY CHILD OFF AT THE DOME AND GO DO OTHER THINGS DURING THE
HOUR?
A:
We strongly recommend that a parent/guardian be present with the child
during the time they’re at the Dome. This is very beneficial in case there
are any problems with the child during the session.
Q:
I’D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO COACH A TEAM, HOW DO I PROCEED?
A:
Thank you. The PSA Recreation program relies totally on volunteer coaches.
Please make your intentions known on the online registration form, or
contact the PSA Office (763-450-3099).
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD’S TEAM DOES NOT HAVE A COACH?
A:
Seeing as we rely totally on volunteer coaches, the parents of the players
on the team roster would have to decide who is going to volunteer to coach
the team.
Q:
WHAT HAPPENS IF NONE OF THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN ON THE TEAM ROSTER
VOLUNTEER TO COACH THE TEAM?
A:
Hopefully, that will never happen. PSA has always had a parent(s) step
forward and volunteer to coach the team. If no parent(s) step forward to
coach the team, one of the other coaches or trainers will coach the team
each week.
Q:
HOW DO I GET A UNIFORM FOR MY CHILD?
A:
All participants in the Winter Recreation Program get a T-shirt. It
will be provided
at the first session you attend.
You will have to provide shorts and socks for your child, preferably black.
Q:
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE T-SHIRT?
A:
No, the cost for the T-shirt is included in the price of the program.
Q:
WHAT SOCCER EQUIPMENT DOES MY CHILD NEED?
A:
Soccer shoes (NO TOE CLEATS) are recommended, but tennis shoes may be worn.
It’s mandatory that all players wear shin guards, completely covered
by their socks.
Each player should bring a fully-inflated soccer ball to all
sessions.
They must
also bring enough water/sport drink.
Safety: A
player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to another
player, or themselves. If a child wears glasses, they should secure them
with a head-band.
Q:
WHAT SIZE SOCCER BALL SHOULD MY CHILD HAVE?
A:
Size 3 for Pre-K to 2nd Grade, Size 4 for 3rd to 5th
Grade.
Q:
WHAT IS THE PSA POLICY ON REGISTRATION REFUNDS?
A:
For the Winter Recreation Program, no refunds are allowed.
