- FALL ROSTERS will be announced the day after the last day of school. Generally, the configuration of teams depends on registration numbers, the availability of coaches, and what is in the best interest of each age group of players as a whole. Please note that where there is more than one team per age group, there is no guarantee that your child will be on the same team from year to year. *** Requests to “play up” an age group will be considered by the Strikers Board of Directors and will be granted only at the Board’s discretion. Once a play up request has been approved, that player would be allowed to play up automatically for all subsequent years.
- REFUNDS on registration fees will be granted until July 15th. There will be NO REFUNDS on registration fees after July 15th.
TRAVEL SOCCER:
- Strikers plays in the Fall Classic League administered by SoccerMaine, which is the governing body of youth soccer in the State of Maine.Information on SoccerMaine can be found at their website, www.soccermaine.com.
- The Fall season typically runs from August through early November for participation in SoccerMaine district and Challenge Cup events. There are 6 league games, most of which are scheduled on Sundays, with the first game typically on the last Sunday in August. In addition, coaches may schedule between 1- 5 exhibition/friendly matches. In addition, there are two (2) practices a week. There are two (2) tournaments: one over Columbus Day weekend and another tournament at the end of the season.
- Players are expected to make a full commitment to Strikers and their team. Conflicts between Strikers games and practices and participation with other sports or teams may result in loss of game playing time. It should be noted that this is a commitment and all players should understand their obligations. It is a team sport.
