After the last registration session, you can still submit registration applications. However:
A. Your child will be placed on a team only if there is room. It may not be possible to honor your requests to play for a particular coach or on a particular team or with a particular friend.
B. If there is no room on NVYSL teams, we may be able to place your child on a team in our Milpitas Club. And we may hold your registration on a Wait List in case players drop. The Age Group Coordinator for your child?s age group will contact you if we need to exercise one of these options. In the event we cannot place your child on a team, your registration fee will be turned.

Players on competitive teams register through their team. See your coach or team manager for details.
How do I get registration forms?

Teams are formed during July, and coaches are given their rosters in early August. We encourage coaches to contact the players on their teams as soon as they get their rosters which means that you should hear from the coach sometime between August 1 and August 15. If you have not heard from your child’s coach by August 15, contact the age group coordinator for your child‘s age group.
Practices can begin around August 1st. Returning players are covered by CYSA's supplemental insurance from their previous year's registration, but new players are not covered until August 1st.
Your coach will determine the day(s) and location of the team's practice. The League cannot accommodate requests to change teams based on conflicts. We suggest that you work with other parents on the team to arrange car pools.
I turned in my form but have not heard anything. Is my child signed up?
Teams are formed during July, and coaches are given their rosters in early August. We encourage coaches to contact the players on their teams as soon as they get their rosters which means that you should hear from the coach sometime between August 1 and August 15. If you have not heard from your child’s coach by August 15, contact the age group coordinator for your child‘s age group.
Can I get a refund?
If we are not able to place a child on a team, your registration fee will be refunded in full, including the cost of a uniform you ordered or returned.
Once the teams are formed, players who drop out of soccer can be quite disruptive. Depending on the date and level of involvement, the Board of Directors will determine how much, if anything, can be refunded. At a minimum, a processing fee of $25 will be deducted from your refund.
Young children are sometimes intimidated by early practices, so we recommend that you alert the coach if the child is unhappy and give it a couple of weeks. Inviting a teammate over for a sleepover is a good way to develop a buddy for your child.
How is soccer organized? How big are the teams? How often are practices and games held?
How is soccer organized? How big are the teams? How often are practices and games held?
We offer two levels of soccer play: recreational and competitive. Most new players start on recreational teams, and recreational is all that is offered for 4-7 year olds.
Recreational teams are organized by age group. Four and five year olds play co-ed soccer on U6 teams. Six and seven year olds are organized into Boys U8 teams and Girls U8 teams. And so on? U10, U12, U14, U16, U19.
Recreational teams typically practice twice a week (e.g., Monday and Wednesday), most often in the late afternoon or early evening based on the availability of the coach. Unfortunately, we cannot assign your child to a team based on days of the week, as we do not know coaches? schedules at the time teams are formed. We ask that you make an effort to coordinate with other parents on the team to which you are assigned before asking us to change your child?s team, as reassigning children to different teams is disruptive and not always possible.
Recreational teams play two pre-season games in August and 10 season games in September, October and November. All recreational games in U6-U12 are held on Saturdays. Some recreational teams (U8-U14) enter our tournament in late November or early December; these teams pay a tournament fee that is not included in your registration.
Younger age groups play on smaller fields, with smaller balls and goals, for shorter time periods, and fewer players on the field. This gives individual players more opportunities to play the ball. It also facilitates the player?s development of tactical concepts.
Recreational Soccer General Information
Division 4 or recreational, also sometimes referred to as Class 4 or in-house, consists of the majority of our players. Each year, players are assigned to teams in which each player must play at least 50% of the time throughout the season. We place a large emphasis on player development and soccer enjoyment. Every player can play Division 4, irrespective of the skill level, whether they are new to the game or even seasoned players.
Recreational soccer is also offered at our Club affiliate, MYSC. Normally, NVYSL and MYSC combine schedules to form a very balanced REC season. In addition, Division 4 teams may also play in local recreational jamborees and fun days which consist of tournament style of play.
