Frequently Asked Questions

Q: [What's the minimum age to play?]
A: [Player MUST be 4 by August 1, 2010.  This is one rule that we cannot bend.]


Q: [How long is the season?]
A: [There are 8 weekends of games.  Games are played on Saturdays.  There will be two or three weekends of practice before the season starts (depending on weather). ]


Q: [What do I need to buy other than the jersey?]
A: [Soccer cleats, shin guards, if the shin guards don't have the cloth covering, socks to cover the shin guards, and a ball.  U-6 & U-8 use size 3, U-10 & U-12 use size 4, U-15 & U-19 use size 5.]


Q: [Why do we have jerseys?]
A: [The jerseys that WCSA uses are reversable with one side blue and the other side red.  If you are a home team, you wear read, away wears blue.  WCSA went with the jerseys to help with teams sharing players on game day.  For example your team plays 8 at a time.  Team A shows up with 14 and Team B shows up with 8.  Team A should lend Team B a few players for two reasons...#1 Team B players could get worn out playing the full game without breaks #2 Team B is going to have 6 kids sitting on the bench who could be playing.]


Q: [What are the divisions?]
A: [Keep in mind that U means under.  We have: U-6 (4 & 5 year olds), U-8 (6 & 7 year olds), U-10 (8 & 9 year olds), U-12 (10 & 11 year olds), U-15 (12, 13 & 14 year olds), and in the spring U-19 (15-18 year olds).  We have all girl teams for U-6, U-8, U-10, U-12, and sometimes for U-15.]


Q: [OK, I registered, now what?]
A: [You will shortly be contacted by your coach to set up practices.  WCSA is 100% volunteer driven!  The coaches will set up their own practice nights, but WCSA will set the game schedule.
