Soccer program information
Games are played on Saturdays at local Spokane Valley
schools. Most games are currently at Trent Elementary (3303 N. Pines).

The entire soccer season normally includes both the Fall (September
and October) and Spring (April and May). Your registration fee
includes BOTH !

note: if you register for "Spring", that fee only includes the Spring portion of the season.

Teams and their practices are normally centered close to their
local schools. Practices for the younger ages (4 to 8) are normally
one evening a week for about an hour. Older ages (9 and up) may
practice twice a week. Practice locations are determined by the coach,
with input from the team to find times that are convenient for everyone.

Items needed by each child include:
1) SHIN GUARDS
2) SOCKS (to cover the shin guards)
3) SOCCER SHORTS (black or neutral color recommended)
4) SOCCER BALL:
size #3 ages 4 - 7 (U5-U8),
size #4 ages 8 - 11 (U9-U12),
size #5 for 12 and older (U13 +)
5) WATER

Soccer shoes are NOT required, but recommended for better traction.
"tennis" or "athletic" shoes (without spikes) may be worn.

These items should be brought to each game and practice.

RAIN

RAIN  

In soccer, the games are NOT canceled for rain or weather.

The only time we cancel games is if it is "unsafe".  Normally, the
game is played as long as the field is "playable".

The only exceptions are when there are extreme or unsafe conditions.
This would include lightning in the area and when conditions (heavy
snow or rain) makes it impossible to play the game.
