How much are the uniforms?

Jerseys are included in the registration fee. You need only purchase soccer shorts. RCSA furnishes jerseys at the beginning of each Fall season and sizes should be ordered so that it will last for 2 season. Only those players who are new, changed teams or moved up in divisions will receive a new jersey in the Spring. Should your child out grow his/her jersey come Spring, you will need to pay for a new jersey.

How does my child get on a team?

After registration, all players are placed within their age group, then separated by age and gender (U4, U5 and U6 are co-ed). Last season returning players are guaranteed a spot on their prior team. Remaining and new players are picked from a blind pool by the Team Formation Committee. In accordance with North Texas Soccer Rules and Regulations and to prevent team stacking, we cannot honor requests to play for/with specific teams, coaches or players. Exceptions to specific players: siblings and those players who qualify for Buddy System (see Forms for more information). Once the teams have been established, the coaches will contact each player to schedule practices.

When and where would the practices be?

A couple weeks after sign ups have concluded, the coaches will meet and receive their roster. Coaches who have not been cleared by North Texas Soccer via a background check, cannot receive their roster. Once the coaches have their roster, they will begin calling their parents for a team meeting and first practice. Each coach will set up the practice days, times and locations. Most younger division practice at the elementary schools, City parks, or the Splash Park. North Texas Soccer established time limits on practices for all age divisions. U4, U5, U6 is typically 45-1hr once a week. U8 and up average 1hr to 1.5 hr. once or twice a week. 

When does the season start?

Check the website for up to date information on games, schedules and start date. Spring typically starts the first weekend in March and the Fall starts the first weekend in September. Schedules are normally posted a week prior.  Games are mostly held on Saturdays. Teams are scheduled no more than 2 week night games per team per season.

Got a question...and don't know who to ask? This might help !!

Your coach should be your first contact. If you don’t have a coach yet or don’t know who he/she is, or should you need help beyond your coach, please contact your Division Commissioner.
