Spring 2025

This is Spring Select, which means that coach's will contact the players and put them on a roster. Parents are asked to register on Sports Connect and be put on a waitlist. You will only pay once your coach's roster submitted has been approved. You will receive an email from the Registrar. All others will wait on waitlist for possible play to fill in for the coach's roster. You will get an email for Spring Academy if not picked for a team.
Spring is for U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U19.
Fees are: $100 for players who played in Fall 2024 and are residents of Cypress, $120 in you are not a Cypress resident. If you did not play there will be an additional $25 fee added on. These fees include player uniforms.
Our first games of the Spring 2025 season begin this Saturday, March 1st  thru May 10th. There will not be games on March 28th or April 19th. U10 and above will play Area/Section teams. 

What is the Spring Select season and what is the process for selection for U8-U19

For each division, there will be a select number of teams allowed to compete.  The Board of Directors will vote on the quantity of teams in each division as well as the coach(es).  The coaches are responsible for creating their own teams

Who is eligible to participate in this season?

Option 1) Spring select through the region. This is available for players on U8 and above who have been selected to play by a coach. The cost is $100 for players who played in Fall 2023 and $120 for new players.   These players will need to register in our system like they did in the Fall. You will be placed on the waitlist then moved over when the roster is turned in by the coach. You will then receive an email to pay. If your child hasn’t been contacted by a coach and you want them to play Spring Select you can register them on the waitlist this way and if a coach needs a player they will choose from the waitlist. There is no guarantee that your player will be placed on a team.

Option 2) Spring Academy ran by First Touch Coaching. This will consist of 1 practice and 1 game. Registration will be https://campscui.active.com/orgs/FirstTouchSoccer?orglink=camps-registration#/selectSessions/2592103
This is open for any player ages 4-12 and no experience is necessary so it’s great for those starting out.

We hope to see you in the Spring for one of the 2 choices. Please let us know if you have any questions and enjoy the holidays with your families!!

Must we have ID cards for the Select season?

TBD

Who’s responsible for the referees?

The home team is responsible for providing the center referee duties for the Spring Select season for the competitive games.  All teams still must provide referees to cover Assistant Referee duties and some Center Referee duties for the non-competitive games (8U Division)

Who’s responsible for Field Duty?

Just as the Fall (regular) season, your team will be responsible for field setup if you are scheduled for the first game of the day on your assigned field.  You’ll need two representatives to meet at the Lexington Lock-up area on the Friday before your game at 5pm.  They’ll be chalking the field lines and setting up the goals and nets.  On game day, they’ll also need to setup the flags before the game. 

Field takedown will be the responsibility of the team with the last game of the day on your assigned field.  They’ll be responsible for putting away the goals, nets, and flags.  

Referees

The home team will provide the center referee, but volunteer referees must be provided by each team to cover the AR (sideline) duties. 

What else do I need to know?

It’s likely that the league, Area 11E, will call a mandatory meeting.  Last year, the agenda comprised of the conduct of players/coaches/parents, PSC and Extra program, new rules, Referee Responsibility and safety items.
