What time are the games?
Games are held on Saturday mornings beginning at 8:30 am. The actual game schedule is determined once the teams are formed. (Generally younger teams are scheduled earlier in the day.)
What night is practice held?
Practices are not determined until after evaluations. Once teams are formed and coaches are assigned, we will distribute the practice schedule. We do not practice on Tuesdays. You may indicate on your registration form one additional night that does not work in your schedule. Practices end by dark.
Does my child need cleats?
No. However, many children do wear shinguards.
Are there discounts or scholarships?
Not at this time. Because of our efforts to keep costs down for everyone, we do not have "extra" money set aside.
What if I can't make the evaluation day?
We urge all children to attend the evaluation. Please contact the Upward Sports Director if you absolutely cannot attend on this date.
Can my child be placed on a team with his/her friend?
Please indicate your preference on your registration form. We will make an attempt at placing friends together; HOWEVER, due to the vast amounts of players registered, we cannot guarantee placement preference.
Can my child play in different age bracket?
Please contact the Upward Sports Director to discuss the details of the situation.
Can siblings practice on the same evening each week?
Please
indicate your preference on your registration form. We will make every
attempt to schedule siblings together; HOWEVER, due to the vast amounts of
players registered, we cannot guarantee placement preference.
Can I select more than one evening that my child cannot practice?
Please
indicate your preference on your registration form. We will make an
attempt at to honor your request; HOWEVER, due to the vast amounts of
players registered, we cannot guarantee placement preference.
When will the kids know who their teams and coaches are?
Most likely the day before Parent Orientation.
