Overview:

• The Summer Recreational Soccer Program season runs from just after Memorial Day until the first week of August. The first part of the season is mostly practices.
• Depending on the schedule your child’s team may not play during the first or last weeks of the season. You will be contacted in mid-May with your team’s actual schedule.
• Only if we have the need for make-ups will the season carry beyond the first week in August.
• Games and practices are held on weeknights (M-F) in either a 6:15–7:15 pm or 7:15–8:15 pm timeslot. Nights of the week will vary for both games and practices. The actual schedule cannot be completed until we know how many registrants and teams we have in each age group. Teams play an average of 2 games per week.
• The program uses fields located at the Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack as well as at Farmington and Victor town parks. Until the number of teams in each age group is known, it is not possible to give specifics on locations for each group.
• Age brackets are 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-16. The player’s age is determined as of July 31st of this year. Some leagues are co-ed. However, we have had enough registrants in recent years to have separate boys’ and girls’ leagues in the 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12 age groups. If that holds true this year, those age groups would likely be split again.
• Rain does not mean a game or practice is cancelled. In the case of games, coaches and referees must meet at the field to determine playing conditions.
• Shin guards are required for all players. They are available at most stores that sell sports equipment.
• No official scores or standings are kept for any age group bracket. Emphasis is on sportsmanship and enjoyment of the game.
• Playing time will be divided as equally as possible amongst all players.
• More information on philosophy and coaching guidelines can be found in the Summer Recreation Philosophy/Coach Guidelines Statement.
• More details on the program can be found on our FAQ page.
