Recreation FAQ

FAQ

·I need to know the schedule prior to registering. Why are the schedules released so close to the start of the season?

We cannot create the schedules until the teams are completed after registration closes. We cannot create the teams until the registration numbers are known for the different age groups and programs. Keep in mind that we also have to organize the trainers and referees in this schedule as well.  The schedules will be on our website by clicking on "Training Schedule" and "Field Game Schedule" usually two weeks before season begins.


·My child's  team seems too large, can they be split up to smaller groups?

The size of the teams is determined by the number of parent volunteers willing to serve as team managers. If more parents volunteer we will be able to have more teams with fewer players.

·What kind of training is available for Recreation players?

We have partnered with Shatliff Soccer for our recreation training beginning Fall of 2023. In the Spring we also have Junior Trainers, under Shatliff Soccer supervision who help with training due to having more registered players. These are held once weekly focused on individual development to ensure consistent training. Volunteer team managers are encouraged to hold an additional practice.


·How long does the season run?

The Fall and Spring seasons are scheduled to be 8 weeks long, with one makeup weekend in the event of several cancellations due to weather/field conditions.

 
·Can you get coaches that are more knowledgeable about soccer?

Parent coaches are volunteers and are asked to take part in soccer coach training with Shatliff Soccer in the beginning of each season. We always look for experienced volunteers but they do not always volunteer. If you know of more experienced parents please encourage them to volunteer to be a coach.

·I wish we were given information about schedules, times, and team info earlier.

The game and practice schedules are posted on the Monroe Soccer Club. We attempt to post all relevant information on the website to provide a one-stop location for coaches and families. We send out reminders a few days prior as a courtesy but the primary source is the website and social media. The schedules cannot be created until the teams are set, which is why we do not release the schedules until we're very close to the season. We do try to keep the times consistent from season to season, so you can get an idea by looking at the previous season's schedule.

 
·I'm having trouble registering on the website. Is there a phone number I can call for support?

No, there is no phone support for registration. Please keep in mind the Monroe Soccer Club is run by volunteers - with 'normal' jobs, families, and soccer teams of their own. Review our Parent's Guide and FAQ before looking for support. All support is via email - to [email protected] . A screenshot of the issue will help. If an answer can be found on our FAQ and Parent's Information page, we will not respond.

·Registration is closed, but I did not know about it. How can I get notified for next season?

The best way is to click "Register" on the top right of the page and create a profile so that you can get up to date club information. We post all information on our website and social media pages. We have also partnered with the local schools to send out communication.

·Cancellations because of weather?

Soccer is played outdoors and we will not cancel games unless there are unsafe field conditions or due to lightning/thunder. Expect to play in the rain unless otherwise notified. We send an e-mail to the club and post our updates on our website and social media.

·I have more questions. How can I get in touch? Is there a phone number for support?

Reminder that all of our board members are volunteers and have full time jobs in various fields. They are not available via phone. All support will be done via email to [email protected]
