Registration for our Recreational division for children ages 8 to 10 is open to both boys and girls. The teams are not co-ed. Children are separated by boys and girls into age groupings of 2 years. For instance, if your child is 7, he or she will be on a U8 team. “U” in this case means under. TN State Soccer Association rules state that we go by the age of the child on July 31, 2009. So, using the example above, if your child turns 8 on August 15, 2009, we would still place him/her in the U8 group because he/she would be considered to be 7. If you would like to have your child reviewed for higher placement, please contact the Redoubt Registrar.
Redoubt operates under a draft system in order to ensure that our teams are as equally matched as possible. We try to accommodate requests for children that car pool and parents who wish to coach their own children. We are limited to a few requests per team in order to maintain the balance on the teams.
Practices for this league are on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evenings and games are scheduled on a rotating basis on Friday and/or Saturday. By rotating the games, no one team gets the 8:00 am game on every Saturday.
What to Expect after you register:
You can expect your coach to call with your team assignment and practice date by Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010. Your Coach will bring the uniforms to the first practice. We use emails to communicate with parents regarding changes in schedules, etc. Please let your coach know if you do not check your emails frequently so we will use another method to communicate with you.
