When do the coaches get their teams?

• Teams are built after the last registration day. Coaches receive their team rosters in mid-July. 
• We reserve the right to rebalance teams once they are built and after practices begin due to late registrants. 
  

When do the players get called? 

• Teams may begin practice on or after August 1.
• Coaches are supposed to call their teams once they get their rosters.
• Coaches are responsible for telling players/parents about practice times and location.

It’s after the first weekend in August and my child has not been called. What do I do?

• To find your child’s coach, go to your Blue Sombrero account.
• If your child has not been called by August 10, please email the [email protected].

What else does my child need?

• Registration fee includes: complete uniform (jersey, shorts, and socks), supplemental accident insurance, and a ball.
• Parents provide shoes, shin guards (mandatory) and water.
• Jewelry, especially earrings, may not be worn during practices or games. With this in mind, your child's ears must be pierced in enough time before August 1 that they can be removed for practice. The typical time is four weeks, so should be pierced on or before July 1.

How often are practices and games?

• Practices are typically held twice a week and on Saturdays in August.
• Games begin week after Labor Day - held on weekdays and Saturdays through mid-October. Saturdays only into November.
• Playground and 6U practice/scrimmages are held on Saturdays beginning August 1.

All requests for a refund must be submitted on the “Player Withdrawal Request”. Download form at www.concordayso.org, parent’s page.
