BOYS and GIRLS REGISTRATION 2011-2012

Both girls and boys will be using the on-line registration program this year for all returning players.  Even with this new system all NEW players will be required to attend registration on October 1 at TEMS (see above for details).  Details for the on-line registration process are below.

Click below for the online registration link.

• You should come to T/E Middle School (details above) on October 1. 
  
• 9 year old juniors (those who turned 9 on or before Aug. 31, 2011):  Places are filled on a first-come-first served basis on October 1.
• If you are not able to attend registration, then you can ask someone else to register your child.  Be sure they bring a birth certificate or other proof of age for your child.  (Note: for any 9 year olds, where registration is done by a first-come-first served basis, only children from one family can be registered at a time.  If a family is registering children from a different family as well as their own children, this family must go to the back of the line for the second family being registered.)
• After you have come to the registration, you will be given a coupon memo with a number.  After leaving registration, if you are within the first 60 to register, you will be asked to take that coupon memo and go on-line and officially register your child.  You will have until the end of the day on October 5 to complete this registration, or you will forfeit your child's number and he will go to the end of the line.
• If your child is on the waiting list, he will be notified if space becomes available.
• Unless you do not have a credit card and can not register on-line, you do not need to bring payment to the registration on October 1.
  

• You should come to T/E Middle School (details above) on October 1. 
  
• There are a limited number of places for older players.  New players for all these groups will be placed on a waiting list.  Selection will be by a random method such as picking out of a hat.
• If you are not able to attend registration, then you can ask someone else to register your child.  Be sure they bring a birth certificate or other proof of age for your child. 
  
• After you have come to the registration, you will be given a coupon memo.  A few days after registration, you will be notified by email if your child was chosen for participation in the league.  If he/she is accepted,  you will be asked to go on-line and officially register your child.  You will be given a date to complete this registration, or you will forfeit your child's right to participate.  Note:  all those who receive coupon memos will be contacted (by October 10 at the latest) - whether the he/she is able to participate of not.

• An email to your email address from registration last year should have already been received regarding registration.

• The league will consider requests for financial assistance.
  
• See age chart to verify a player's division.
• The schedule for player evaluation will be emailed to each registered family and posted on this website.  (In general, tryout times are assigned by age.  The youngest players are in the first group and the oldest players in the last of the 6 groups.)
• If you do not have regular access to email - please make note of this when you register so your coach knows this.
  

Residency: Registrations for new players is limited to those families residing in Charlestown, Easttown, East Whiteland, Malvern, Tredyffrin, or Willistown townships.

Help needed: Sponsors ($100 each), coaches, assistant coaches, and other volunteers are always welcome. Please indicate your interest on your child's registration form or contact us if you want to help in any way.

Requirements: All players should indicate the size of their jersey (t-shirt) on the registration form.

Tryouts: ALL registered players are required to participate in tryouts, which are used to balance the teams.  Tryouts are NOT used to cut players.

Program commitment: It is very important that all players who register have schedules that will permit them to attend the majority of practices and games. While we encourage players to be well-rounded, frequent conflicts with indoor soccer, winter swimming, school plays, etc. can be especially disruptive to a team and unfair to others who wished to participate and could not because of space restrictions.

Team selection: Each team roster is new each year.
