Soccer 2010

THE PROGRAM

The Carrollton Boosters soccer program is a recreational, intramural program for boys and girls aged 4 – 12 as of July 31, 2010. Registered players are placed in the following leagues according to date of birth:

U-6 mixed: Boys and Girls who are 4 or 5 on July 31, 2010
U-8 Boys: Boys who are 6 or 7 on July 31, 20010
U-8 Girls: Girls who are 6 or 7 on July 31, 2010
U-10 Boys: Boys who are 8 or 9 on July 31, 2010
U-10 Girls: Girls who are 8 or 9 on July 31, 2010
U-13 Boys: Boys who are 10,11, or 12 on July 31, 2010
U-13 Girls: Girls who are 10,11, or 12 on July 31, 2010

All players are drafted onto teams, then play a schedule of games from mid-September through mid-November. All games are at the Carrollton fields at 8321 Forshey St., near the Carrollton Ave. post office. Most games will be on Saturdays, at varying times, plus the U-10 and U-13 leagues may have occasional Friday evening games. Coaches will schedule practices after the teams are drafted. Practices are generally on weekday evenings. U-6 teams do not generally practice outside of their Saturday time slot.

Players will be issued a team shirt and socks, to be worn at all games. They will need shin guards, plus either soccer cleats (preferable) or tennis shoes.

REGISTRATION

To register, click on the registration tab and follow the procedure. The fee is $125 for your first child, plus $100 per additional child. If registering more than one child, be sure to register all children before checking out. You may pay on line by credit card or you may choose the option to send a check, but note that your registration is not considered complete until fees are paid. Players who are not registered will not be graded or drafted onto teams.

Contact Alan Godchaux at
soccer@carrolltonboosters.org for more information or for payment assistance.

GRADING

All players except for the U-6’s must be graded. The grading schedule is posted on the
home page.

All players in the U-8, U-10, and U-13 leagues must be graded.

COACHES

When registering your child or children for soccer, please consider coaching your child’s team. Carrollton relies on volunteer parents to coach its teams. Coaching is an excellent way to not only develop a greater appreciation for soccer, but to form a special bond with your son or daughter as the season progresses. In order to coach, simply answer “yes” to the question when registering, then also register yourself as a coach, and we will contact you.

SPONSORS

Another fun way to contribute to the program is to sponsor your child’s team. Sponsors select the team’s colors and name, and may include a business name and logo as well. The fee is $255 and can be paid with your child’s registration or can be paid by a separate check. Simply answer “yes” to the sponsor question when registering your child. Later, after you have completed the registration, return to our web site and click on the “sponsor forms” tab in order to submit your sponsor info. Your sponsorship will be attached to your child’s team unless you specify otherwise.

PRE-SEASON CAMP / IN-SEASON SKILLS CLINIC

For an additional fee of $85, Carrollton offers a preseason soccer camp from Monday, August 9 through Friday, August 13, 8:30 - 11:30, at our fields at 8321 Forshey St.

We also offer, for an additional fee of $60, a series of clinics (training sessions) during the season on Fridays 5:30 - 7:00.

Both the camp and the clinics are conducted by professional CSA coaches under the direction of Louis Smothermon. They are intended to serve players who are registered to play in Carrollton Boosters’ leagues, but we may allow additional participants.
