New players to Ela Soccer Club will need to purchase a uniform $65.  The uniform can be used for multiple seasons. 

Current Competitive/Travel players are not permitted to participate in the Recreational program. 

Team, gender and age combinations in any given season may vary based on registration to form developmentally appropriate leagues.     We do our best to balance teams.  Date of registration is considered for team formation decisions.   Late registrants are placed on teams with openings . Specific team or friend requests are not taken. If there is a specific extenuating/carpool need we will do what we can to honor the request, however the request must be reciprocal. Both families must make the same request.   

Players will not be moved from one team to another for practice time conflicts. 

All head coaches receive a $30 credit at the end of the season for volunteering. If practice days and times are important please consider volunteering!  If more parents volunteer to coach at an age level than there are teams, then not everyone will be able coach. If we are short coaches at an age level we will request volunteers come forward. If no one volunteers the team is disbanded and players spread out among other teams. 

Ela Soccer Club has the right to change any of these rules or make a decision that would be in the best interest of the participants.
