2024 SPRING SOCCER

Registration for ASC spring 2024 county league teams is now closed

SEASON INFO: 

* Team practices begin in mid-March. Team coaches select day, time and location.
* Schedules are determined by the Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks. ASC maintains 7v7 fields (U8-U10) and a 9v9 field (U11-U12)  at PAL Park (1025 Bay Ridge Rd, Annapolis, MD 21403) for its teams to usually have half of its games scheduled at. Other games and older age groups are scheduled elsewhere within Anne Arundel County (e.g. Annapolis H.S., Davidsonville, Pasadena).

     · Make-up games for all age groups may be held on Saturdays or, if needed, the second weekend of June (7-9).
      · Season lasts until the first weekend of June (1-3). Games will not be held on Memorial Day (May 24-26) weekend

* Team assignments will be sent out the week of March 11. Please understand that some coaches reach out sooner than others. You will find out which team your child is on when the coach reaches out, starting the week of March 11.

Registration: $135 | Registration closes on Feb. 20 | $25 late fee after Feb. 20
* Uniforms from this past fall season can again be reused for the spring season. If you did not previously purchase an Annapolis Soccer Club Puma uniform, you will need to purchase one at the subsidized cost of $25. During registration, be sure to list the correct size needed and select “1” when prompted prior to the checkout page.
* Following registration, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive this email, re-visit the registration site to complete the registration. Incomplete registrations will not be processed. Please check over all info carefully to ensure that your child is placed in the correct age group. 

Age Group Info for Spring 2024
Age groups are based on birth year (not by school grade):
* U8 (2016 birth year)
* U9 (2015 birth year)
* U10 (2014 birth year)
* U11 (2013 birth year)
* U12 (2012 birth year)

* U14-U15 (2009-2010 birth years)

Children can play up an age group but not down. If you wish to have your child play up (e.g. keep siblings together on the same team), select the higher age group during registration and use the coach/friend request area to include that info as well. 

Coach/friend requests – be sure to enter this info during registration, using the full name of the coach/friend. Please note that efforts are made to accommodate as many requests as possible. As Feb. 20 approaches and teams fill up though, it can become more difficult to switch teams. If you are requesting a coach in a higher age group, your child will be moved to that team.

County Soccer Details

Annapolis Soccer Club forms teams at the U8/U9 level and higher during the Fall and Spring seasons to compete in the AAYSA County (Recreational) Soccer League. We generally have at least 1 team per age group and are able to slot multiple teams in an age group into different divisions. The county league is comprised of similar youth soccer organizations that aim to put players on the playing field.  

COACHES

ASC relies on parent volunteers to lead our recreational teams. Teams that have multiple parents helping usually yield the most success and enjoyment. Available opportunities as Head or Assistant Coach. The Head Coach will be given instruction on how to structure a practice, sample practice plans and educational opportunities to make it a more enjoyable experience for all!

Please use your best efforts to encourage/promote the parents of your team members to step on the field to help you as coaches and get some experience in that role. With more potential coaches in the future, ASC can make the teams smaller and allow you (and the other coaches) to become more productive and give the kids more time with the ball. To help promote the coaching position, each team gets two coaches T-shirts - so pass one out to a likely candidate.

SCHEDULE - PRACTICE AND GAMES

Practice location, day of the week and times are all determined by the Head Coach of the team. Once teams are formed and coaches assigned, coaches are given access to identify and select a practice field of their choice. The older county teams usually practice 2 times per week. The U8-U10 coaches generally practice 1 time per week. 

A county team should expect to have half of their games at "home" (local to Annapolis) and half of their games away (traveling to other organization's fields). Your home field is subject to availability and scheduling feasibility. We will work with the county to do our best but cannot promise home games for all teams due to field limitations. 

During the Spring Season, the majority of county games will be played on Sunday afternoons.

ROSTERING & AGE GROUPS

The player registration process automatically slots the players by their birthdate to the player's appropriate age group.

Roster maximums consists of the following number per age group:
- Twelve (12) Players for 7v7
- Fifteen (15) Players for 9v9
- Eighteen (18) Players for 11v11
Any number of players over these amounts will require a written waiver prior to the first game of the season

RAIN/WEATHER CANCELLATIONS (Games and practices)

Note that poor field conditions (as determined be ASC) will cancel all games.
Other County organizations are responsible for their home fields.
Games canceled by the county will be updated on the county schedule. 
For practice and game day cancellations, ASC WILL ONLY POST VIA FACEBOOK - http://www.facebook.com/AnnapolisSoccerClub

SAFETY

All children MUST wear shin-guards.
Don't allow litter. Please self-police your teams. We are lucky to get the fields we get, let’s not lose them. How about assigning a clean-up family as well as a snack family.
