Who

We offer soccer for Pre-K through 9th grade. In order to register for Pre-K, your child needs to turn 4 before the first game.

When

The first games of the season will start on April 11. For the Pre-K through 6th grade divisions it is an 8 game season with 6 games on Saturdays and 2 weeknight games.  For the 7th-9th grade divisions it is a 7 game season with a single elimination tournament following the end of the regular season. The 7th-9th grade girls will play games on Mondays and Wednesdays and the 7th-9th grade boys will play games on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Team Creation

Pre-K through 6th grade divisions will be placed on teams by school if possible.  If you would like your child to be on the same team as someone else, please make sure you request that during registration (not guaranteed).  Some grade divisions may be combined if there are not enough participants signed up in a division.

For 7th-9th grade divisions, only one of two request options can be chosen:

Option #1: Participants can request ONE friend to play with on the same team (known as a Head to Head request). These Head to Head requests must match each other, AND registrations must be completed and done by the registration deadline. Head to Head requests are not guaranteed, but we will make our best effort to fulfill them.

Option #2: Participants that have someone willing to coach can fill out a Player Protection team form. Through filling out this form, a coach can protect seven players not including their child/participant. As long as those players listed on the Player Protection form have registered before the deadline they will be placed on that coaches team.

Equipment

All players are required to have shin guards.  Cleats are recommended but not required.  Toe cleats and metal cleats are not allowed.  If not wearing cleats closed toe shoes are required.  Players may not play with anything officials deem to be dangerous to themselves or others. This includes but is not limited to jewelry, watches, hats, casts, illegal shoes or illegal cleats.

All players are required to have a Saratoga Springs jersey.  Players are allowed to wear an old reversible jersey if they have one that still fits. If you have one that still works, you do not need to buy a new one.  If you need to buy a new jersey they are $16.

Participants can also purchase blue shorts and/or blue socks.  These are optional and are not required to purchase during registration.  Shorts are $9 each and socks are $4 per pair.

Coaches will be provided 2 soccer balls, 8 to 10 cones, and a goalie penny if applicable to that age group.  This equipment must be returned to the Recreation Department once the season is complete.

Coaches Needed

If you think you want to coach, please sign up during the registration process.
