SPRING 2023
January 1-February 1, 2023: Spring Registration
March 2023: Spring season begins-first games/scrimmages for some divisions 3/4/23.
April 8-9: Easter Break-no games
May 20-21: Last weekend of the spring season
PLEASE NOTE: If your child was placed off the Wait List for Fall '22, your fall fee will show up on your account if it has not been paid. If you have any questions or this is in error, please email us at charlottejrsoccer@gmail.com.
1. Be civil and polite to EVERYONE, including the referees, the opposing players, and especially the County Deputies at Freedom Park.
2. Club OR Recreation-you cannot play both; some exceptions in the U18 division.
3. 24 hour "cool down" period. Chill first-chat/email later. Good rule of thumb: Do not approach a coach, player, official, or parent at the field immediately after a game.
Thank you!
****************************************
CJ Registration and Team Formation: Charlotte Junior Soccer has grown along with our city. This past year, CJ experienced the biggest registration in our almost 50-year history with over 3000 children signed up to play.
Coaches: Please volunteer to coach your child's team!
* We can succeed only if we have both fields AND lead coaches for our players.
* Team creation and placement are totally dependent on Parent Volunteers to coach.
* CJ provides the team equipment (balls. cones, pinnies), practice field, and game schedule for all coaches and teams.
* Pre-season coaching clinics, coaching manuals, and side-by-side coaching support at practices are provided free to all teams by our Director of Coaching, Bryan Mogford.
Caps on Divisions:
* Divisions will be capped when they exceed field and volunteer capabilities; priority on wait list given to parents who sign up to lead a team as coach.
* Those players registered after the February 1 deadline or after the division cap is reached are automatically put on the Waitlist. We will make all attempts to place every child that signs up to play this spring.
* If we are unable to secure a parent or parents to coach a team, that team will unfortunately be disbanded and families will receive a full refund.
Roster Sizes:
* Roster sizes will be based on age as outlined in the chart below. Any exceptions will be extremely limited and at the sole discretion of each Division Coordinator. No one benefits from oversized rosters.
Team Assignments:
* Team rosters and coach assignments are done by the CJ Division Coordinator (DC). Coaches do not put teams together. The CJ DC manages the entire division as equitably and fairly as possible.
* Please do not approach the coach directly to get a spot on a team. This puts him/her in a very awkward position since he/she has no control over team formation.
* Some teams are over-subscribed (too many requests) so your child may not get their first or even second choice. Please keep this in mind during registration and prepare your child appropriately.
