REGISTER NOW FOR FALL LEAGUE!
The deadline
for fall registration is July 1st. If you register after the deadline
there is an addition $10 fee and you will only be placed on a team if space is
available. You can register at Frye's Action Athletics in Forest Grove or
online at http://oysa-fcwest.sportsaffinity.com.
AGE
GROUP/TEAM REQUESTS
The
"U" in the age group designation signifies "under" (e.g. U6
means under age 6). The cut-off date for age group placement is August
1st, 2009. A player who is not yet six years old on August 1st, 2009
is considered U6. No player is allowed to play in a lower age
group. However, under certain circumstances a player may be allowed to
play in a higher age group. The most important factor in deciding to
place a player in a higher age group is whether it is in the best interests of
the player. While we do our best to honor requests for a specific coach
or teammate, it is not always possible to meet every request. The earlier
the registration form is submitted the better the chance is of having your
requests satisfied.
REGISTRATION
COST/SCHOLARSHIPS
The
registration cost for fall 2009 is $50 for U6 – U8 and $80 for U9 and
above. The registration fee includes a uniform
shirt for U6 - U8 and a full uniform (jersey, shorts and socks) for U9 and
above. If a U8 player is placed on a U9
team they will be required to pay the additional $30 to cover the cost of their
uniform and referee fees. The U9 and
above uniforms will be the same for all teams in FC West and will remain the
same for the next several years so that they can be used again in future
seasons. Scholarships are available to
qualified players. To qualify for a
scholarship you must submit proof of free or reduced lunch qualification,
Oregon Trail Card information, or a letter to the board with a brief
explanation of the need for a scholarship. Please attach this information
to the registration form.
GAMES
Most teams will
have practice two nights a week starting in August. Practice days, times,
and locations will be determined by the coach of each team. Games will be
played on Saturdays starting after Labor Day weekend and run through the end of
October. U6-U8 teams will play against other FC West teams on fields
in and around Forest Grove. U9-U14 teams will play in the Tualatin Valley
Youth Soccer League sponsored by the Hillsboro Soccer
Club. These games may be played as far away as
