|
|
Season Dates: The full season starts Saturday, March 27th for Mini-Strikers, Clinic, Juniors, Seniors and Intramural Rec games. County (AAYSL) games start on a date to be determined in March by AA Couty. All Rec teams may begin practicing after Back to Soccer Day in early March. The last day of games is May 22nd, which is ASA Rec tournament day.
|
| Registration Fees: Costs are $70 per player to register for both ASA Rec and County, plus $10 club dues per season per family. Rec registration includes cost of uniform, which you keep. Travel registration is worked through teams and is partly based on league, club and state fees as appropriate. |
| Rec Games Locations and Times: Rec Games: All Rec program games are at Arundel Middle School unless otherwise noted. All games are played Saturday mornings starting at 9AM. |
| Back to Soccer Day: Back to Soccer Day is Saturday, March 6th. This is an administrative meeting where playes meet coaches and teamates and prepare for the season. Time will be announced. This is a chance for kids and parents to meet coaches and their teammates, and to get organized for the season. If you can not attend this meeting, coaches receive rosters at this time and begin contacting families over the next few days after the meeting. Ages and times are posted on the front page of the website. |
| Practices: Practices for Rec teams are generally on M/W or T/TH schedules and are decided by the teams. You may request to avoid a specific day if there is a conflict. Practices for County teams are set by the team. Practice times generally start around 5:30 but are determined by coaches of each team. Locations generally are in the Odenton area, but some teams may request Millersville, Crofton or other nearby locations. Practices can begin after 6 March, as weather permits. |
| County League Registration: County registrations should be made as soon as possible. Registration does not guarantee team placement. Please see the ASA tryouts page or contact John Ouellette, the ASA County Commissioner at asacountycoaching@arundelsoccer.com for information on available teams. If registrations are made before 17 February, ASA will work to create new county teams to meet demand if existing teams in age group are full. |
| County Games: Most county league games will be Sundays during Spring 2010, unless otherwise noted by schedules. Some age groups may vary. County games are played at an even number of "home" and "away" fields around AA county. |
| Select/Travel: All travel team player selections and practices are determined by teams, subject to field availability. Game schedules are determined by the appropriate leagues. Selection to a travel team is generally on a competitive basis and though generally at low cost, requires a significant committment from players and families. |
