Q: WHAT DO THE PLAYERS DO DURING THE HOUR
THEY’RE AT THE DOME?
A: For approx. 25 minutes, Professional Trainers will
work with the players on age-appropriate soccer activities. For approx. 30
minutes they will play small-sided soccer games with their team and the team
coaches will coach the team.
Q: HOW DO WE REGISTER?
A: With all our Recreation Programs, we use Online
Registration. To register, please go to the PSA website (www.plymouthsoccer.com)
and click on the “Winter Recreation Program” registration link and follow
the instructions.
Late registrations will be accepted, however, placement on a team is on an
as-available basis and not guaranteed.
Q: WHAT GRADE SHOULD I REGISTER MY CHILD FOR?
A: Register your child for the grade they are
CURRENTLY in.
Q: CAN I REGISTER MY CHILD TO PLAY FOR A TEAM IN A HIGHER GRADE?
A: We create teams based on grade. However, individual
requests will be considered. Please contact the Director, Recreation
Coaching and he will make the final decision after discussing the player’s
ability/experience with you.
Q: HOW ARE TEAMS FORMED?
A: All teams are formed at random, using the
registration date/time as the guide for team assignment. We form teams by
grade, “play-with” request and school attended.
Q: MY CHILD WOULD LIKE TO PLAY WITH A FRIEND, IS THIS POSSIBLE?
A: Yes, we do allow “play-with” requests if both
children request to “play-with” each other at online registration.
Q: WHEN ARE THE WINTER RECREATION PROGRAM SESSIONS?
A: Sessions are held on Saturdays from 12:00pm-5:00pm
Q: WHERE IS THE WINTER RECREATION PROGRAM CONDUCTED?
A: At the Plymouth Creek Center Dome on the turf field
Q: IS THERE A GAME SCHEDULE FOR THE TEAMS IN THE WINTER RECREATION PROGRAM?
A: No. Each team will rotate, approx. every 10
minutes, and play against the other PSA teams within their grade and gender.
Q: CAN I DROP MY CHILD OFF AT THE DOME AND GO DO OTHER THINGS DURING THE
HOUR?
A: We strongly recommend that a parent/guardian be
present with the child during the time they’re at the Dome. This is very
beneficial in case there are any problems with the child during the session.
Q: I’D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO COACH A TEAM, HOW DO I PROCEED?
A: Thank you. The PSA Recreation program relies
totally on volunteer coaches. Please make your intentions known on the
online registration form, or contact the PSA Office (763-450-3099).
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD’S TEAM DOES NOT HAVE A COACH?
A: Seeing as we rely totally on volunteer coaches, the
parents of the players on the team roster would have to decide who is going
to volunteer to coach the team.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF NONE OF THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN ON THE TEAM ROSTER
VOLUNTEER TO COACH THE TEAM?
A: Hopefully, that will never happen. PSA has always
had a parent(s) step forward and volunteer to coach the team. If no parent(s)
step forward to coach the team, one of the other coaches or trainers will
coach the team each week.
Q: HOW DO I GET A UNIFORM FOR MY CHILD?
A: All participants in the Winter Recreation Program
get a T-shirt. It will be provided at the first session you attend. You will
have to provide shorts and socks for your child, preferably black.
Q: ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE T-SHIRT?
A: No, the cost for the T-shirt is included in the
price of the program.
Q: WHAT SOCCER EQUIPMENT DOES MY CHILD NEED?
A: Soccer shoes (NO TOE CLEATS) are recommended, but
tennis shoes may be worn.
It’s mandatory that all players wear shin guards, completely covered by
their socks.
Each player should bring a fully-inflated soccer ball to all sessions. They
must also bring enough water/sport drink.
Safety: A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous
to another player, or themselves. If a child wears glasses, they should
secure them with a head-band.
Q: WHAT SIZE SOCCER BALL SHOULD MY CHILD HAVE?
A: Size 3 for Pre-K to 2nd Grade, Size 4 for 3rd to
5th Grade.
Q: WHAT IS THE PSA POLICY ON REGISTRATION REFUNDS?
A: For the Winter Recreation Program, no refunds are
allowed.
NOTE: Please contact the PSA Office (763-450-3099) if you have a special
request to withdraw. Each situation will be reviewed individually by PSA
