Refunds will be provided in COVID related situations. If a player on the team tests positive, the team will be contacted. If it is determined that the team needs to quarantine from the park for some reason, the remainder of the season will be refunded, less the initial transaction fee and proportionally to how many days remain in the season. If, for some reason, the season cannot happen, you will be refunded, less the initial transaction fee and proportionally to how many days remain in the season. No other refunds will be issued for any reason. No rollovers to future seasons will be conducted.

No, there are no rollovers.

Practices fall on either a M+W or a T+Th. There are time slots of 5-6, 6-7 and 7-8/7-8:30. We get the younger players in the earlier slots. There is no way to know what your practice schedule is until the coach has been assigned. The benefit of coaching is to be able to choose your time and day slot, so once your player has been assigned to a coach, they will contact you and let you know the time and day. This is a 8 week season.

All games are played at: California Soccer Park 9800 Old Oregon Trail Redding, California 530-221-2344

Yes, your registration does not include the cost to watch games. The nonprofit California Soccer Park requires you park admission fees in order to maintain the park, pay for business expenses like utilities, rent, field maintenance, COVID supplies, as well as safety, cleaning and organizational staff. *Note, at this time, only household members are allowed to enter the park for Spring 2021 Season. This is a State Rule. Park admission for games is $4. You may also purchase a non-refundable season pass or year pass in the Membership section of the website. www.californiasoccerpark.com/membership

Coaches will be in contact within one week of the first practice.

Coaches should contact players approximately 1 week prior to the beginning of the season.

Teams are formed as evenly as possible, taking into account the player’s requests, transportation requirements, age, etc. We can not guarantee parent requests for player placement, however, requests can be made during online registration. *Note: it is not fun for anyone when a team wins 50 to zero. For that reason, we do not allow full teams to stay as one from year to year in a recreational league. There are competitive leagues if you want to play with the same team each year. Please find information at www.northstatesocccer.com for that. Players will learn to play with new players each season, meet new friends and we will work to keep the teams fair.

Assuming that they are in the same age group, then yes. Please make sure that you mark the registration form that you wish this to occur. This is especially important for siblings that do not share a last name. However, requests are not guaranteed.

Possibly. We attempt to honor requests to have players play with their friends or for certain coaches. HOWEVER, we cannot always honor every request. Sometimes there are just too many requests, players have changed age groups or we just need to move kids around to balance out the size of teams. When a fulll team requests each other, we have a problem of creating a team that is similar to the previous year. This causes issues for the enitre league, having one team more advanced than others. This is not the mission of our recreational league.

Players must have shin guards and cleats for all practices and events. A ball is recommended. Cleats: You may choose to use turf shoes or cleats, but no cleat on the front toe of the shoe. The front cleat is for baseball and football, but not soccer as it can injur others when kicking. Shin guards: Check that the guard fits around the shin and that the straps fit comfortably. Socks must cover the entire shin guard. Ball: 8U uses a size 3 ball, 10U uses a size 4 ball, 12U and older use a size 5 ball.

Yes, all who enter the park must be wearing a mask, at this time. We will inform you if this changes. It is recommended by the State and County that masks be worn by players during play. Players must wear a mask on the sideline and during breaks. All coaches and spectators must wear a mask at all times while in the park.

We follow the State and County youth sport guidlines. More info here..... -Maintain physcial distance of 6ft at all times -Follow the directional arrows on the ground -Follow the new one-way drop off system in the parking lot, upon entering the park from Old Oregon Trail new cones will guide you toward the center of the parking lot.
