FALL 2024/SPRING 2025 MSC REC SOCCER PROGRAM

Recreational (Rec) Soccer is designed for those interested in basic soccer skills training and playing games. Rec Soccer generally involves less commitment (e.g., practices) than Travel or Premier Soccer.

· Fall games and practices will begin in August.

· Spring Games and practices will begin in April.

· All Rosters and Game schedules are posted under Team Central (also accessed through My Account when logged in to mentorsoccerclub.com.

While most U8 and older Co-ed divisions are Boys, girls can participate in any Co-ed division. We will try to split Boys and Girls equally to provide a comfortable learning environment.

Players may play up two birth years (e.g., a U10 may play up to U12). You must register in your birth year, then e-mail [email protected] requesting a transfer to the older division.

Payment for Rec Soccer includes the Fall and Spring seasons if paid in the Fall. Players will play with the same team in Fall and Spring. Indoor soccer is not included.

MSC's primary objective in forming teams is to create fair and balanced teams. Also note that since there are no tryouts for Rec, children are placed blindly without knowing their skill set.

Note: Mentor Soccer Club reserves the right to combine divisions, birth years, and gender when necessary based on the number of participants signed up.

REC COACHES

Rec Soccer coaches are selected from parents, volunteers, and family members from MSC's membership who sign up as Volunteers. However, all Volunteer coaches must have a Concussion and Lindsay’s Law Certificate. All rec teams MUST have a parent coach volunteer. We don't provide coaches due to the price. Rec coaches are not required to have any soccer knowledge. ( Refunds are not given if a parent does not volunteer).

PRACTICES

Team Practices - should be held two weeks before the start of the season. However, coaches can have practices during the season as well.

GAMES

Rec Soccer games, including make-up games, are held on weeknights and Saturdays.

Games are played at various fields in the City of Mentor.

MSC policy is that each player should play a minimum of 50% of the playing time. However, some players may elect not to play at their discretion when asked to play by the coach.

TOURNAMENTS

Rec teams generally do not enter tournaments. Any tournament participation would be at the coach's and parent's discretion, and only those families participating would be expected to pay.
