Greetings!

  Welcome to The Soccer Center’s newsletter, Extra Time with all the information you need on current and upcoming events at The Soccer Center. Time must be flying by as we are now gearing up for the registration process for our second session, while in full swing with session one!  We have a total of 174 teams playing in both Futsal and 7v7 leagues this first session: 92 teams playing Futsal and 82 teams playing 7v7.

Session II Registration Process

We are now accepting registrations for Session II.  Teams should register online through our website (click on "eRegister" from the website home page and please submit ONLY ONCE.) The deadline for registering teams is Monday, December 18.  We highly recommend teams register early to guarantee their spot as we are experiencing an increased volume of inquiries from new teams looking to get into our leagues. All teams (returning and new) must send in their complete rosters along with full payment (no partial payments or partial rosters please!). Teams will not be considered registered until the registration form and payment have been received.  Payment and rosters must be received by the deadline dates below to be put on the schedule.  Players that have played in the first session and have paid the $4 (youth) or $15 (adult) player registration fee need not pay this fee again.

Sessions II and III for our 7v7 leagues are 5 week schedules so the team fee has been pro-rated accordingly to $610 for 5 weeks of games. The Futsal team fee remains the same at $565 for a six week session. Please check the website for game dates for the second session.  Schedules will be posted approximately one week prior to the first game.

* * * Two New Futsal Leagues for Session II! * * *

 The Soccer Center is pleased to announce two new Futsal leagues to our second session of games.  

A High School Co-ed league will be added to the Tuesday night schedule and is open to all high school age group players.  The Adult Co-ed rules will apply to our new High School Co-ed league where there must be two female players on the field at all times.  The price per team is $565 per session.

A U8 Co-ed league will run on Saturday mornings.  U8 Co-ed Futsal is open to all players who are born 8/1/99 or after.  The format will be 4v4 on half of a Futsal field.  There will be no referees, nor will competitive standings or scores be kept.  Cost per team is $250 per session.  For more details, click here!

Interested teams can apply online by clicking 'eRegister' on The Soccer Center's web homepage.

Don't delay!  Register right away!
