Any information I should pass along to my player?
YES! Please share this player code of conduct with you child. It is important that they hear the rules from you too!
- Always respect the referees. Some of these referees might be your friends. How would you treat them if you knew them. Think of them as your friend.
- Courtesy and sportsmanship are as much a part of sports activities as are the skills and rules of the game.
- Be punctual to practices and games; follow the directions and teachings of the coach.
- Always respect the coach, your teammates, and the opposing team players – without them there would be no game.
- Always play your best, play fairly, and play for fun.
- Respect and follow the directions of the referee and the assistant referees; they are the law on the field of play.
- Leave your temper and inappropriate language at home. Derogatory remarks will not improve your game.
- Refrain from using vulgar or foul language at any time.
- Do not criticize the play of others and do not blame others (including the referee crew) for your own poor playing.
- Keep the game moving. Move the required distance from the ball for free kicks as quickly as possible. Leave enough room for a throw-in. Be ready to start play immediately upon the referee’s signal.
- Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Congratulate your opponent and extend thanks to the game officials after the competition, whether you win or lose.
- Players are honor-bound to aid the officials in enforcing the Laws of the Game. Do not argue with the officials or berate them if you think they have made a bad call.
Do we need specific jersey numbers?
Recreational soccer does not require specific numbers for players. Your player can choose to add any number to their jersey or not have any number at all.
*Tournaments will require no duplicate numbers. Ask your coach if you may be participating in a tournament.
My player just got their ears pierced!
Unfortunately no player will be allowed to participate in games with piercings in place. They will be asked to remove them and if unable, they will be directed to the sidelines. The rules do not allow taping, Band-Aids, or other coverings/placeholders. We encourage players to wait until the season is over to get piercings.
Not a problem! Your child can wear prescription glasses on the field (transition lenses are ok). We do encourage sports goggles so there are no facial injuries from flying balls.
Sunglasses will not be allowed.
Pre-K to 2nd Grade Questions
Generally, we hold 2-3 weeks of practice before we start to incorporate games. Your coach will communicate practice times/locations with you.
***Note: we often are still finalizing rosters and adding new coaches and players right up until a few days before the season starts. This can cause a delay in you receiving your child’s team information. We want to make sure every child has a chance to play and that all of our coaches have passed a background check for the safety of our players. We appreciate your patience.
What can I expect for practices?
Your coach will guide your player through a series of games, activities, and scrimmages, all with a focus on having fun while learning the fundamentals of soccer.
In the Spring games will be played on Saturdays at Meldrum Bar park against Gladstone Soccer Club. Please see our programs page for rules.
In the Fall we will have all our games during the week at Bilquist Elementary School and we will be playing other NCSC teams.
***Note: due to last minute roster changes and late registrations, we often do not have a game schedule until a week before games start. We appreciate your patience while we make sure every child has a chance to play.
In the Spring games usually start in April and in the Fall games start the 2nd or 3rd week of September.

*** NOTE: Absolutely no jewelry can be worn during games. This includes earrings. If they cannot be removed, then your child will be unable to play. The rules strictly say that earrings and other piercings cannot be covered and players with them in place will be asked to leave the field.

Taping of earrings or other jewelry is not allowed. If a player is required to wear a medical bracelet or medical necklace, this may be taped over. If no tape is available, and a parent is present, the bracelet must be removed. The player will not play if the medical bracelet or medical necklace is not taped over or removed.
While soccer cleats are recommended, turf shoes or regular tennis shoes may also be worn. If wearing soccer cleats, they must be made of molded rubber and the shoes may not have toe cleat of any kind. Toe cleats must be removed before the player may enter the field of play.
