Looking for a team for your child? Sign up on a list
by clicking on the Players
Looking for Teams Form. The information
you provide will be furnished to coaches looking for players who
meet your criteria.
In addition, our web site
lists under Teams
Looking for Players all teams that are looking for players.
Please note: the primary responsibility for finding a team rests with you, the
parent. It is your job to call these coaches and find a team
that is compatible. Don't stress too much, many teams need
and welcome additional and new players, particularly in spring when they may have players moving over to baseball. However, the closer it is to season start (September) and into spring, the less teams there will be looking for players. You may need to be flexible.
Is your team disbanding and/or do you have an Under 10 - Under 12 player looking for more competitive play? Check our new Upper House for tryouts and teams forming for competitive play. We also highly recommend that you check with your child's friends and school for a team.
Once you have found a
team, get the 2009/10 Team Identification
Number (TIN) from the coach/manager and follow the instructions for Players
With Team-How To Register. Also, send us an email so we can remove your child from the list.
Types
of Teams
As you
talk to coaches there are a few things that are
helpful to understand in determining if a team is
compatible with your child:
1. Teams are organized by the age and gender of the
players. Your
child can play on a team in an older age group but not
a younger one. Players fall into different age groups based
on the Age Chart.
2.
Teams have different types of coaches. Most teams have
volunteer parent coaches but some have paid coaches.
Make sure you understand all fees associated with
playing on a team.
3. Teams have different practice days. Attending practice
is very important to being on a team. Make sure that your
child can attend the practices regularly.
4. Within each age group, teams play in different divisions based on
the skill levels and experience of the players on the team. If you
have a child who has never played soccer before and is 12 years
old, you may want to try to find a team playing in a lower division.
This is less important for younger children. You can gain some understanding
of these divisions by looking at last year’s standings which are
still posted on the website under standings at www.sfvikings.com.
In order to find teams
that are looking for players, go to Teams
Looking for Players as it lists all teams that are looking
