CHAP Soccer Policies:

Welcome to CHAP soccer! We are glad that you have decided to play with us. The following are policies and guidelines that will enable our program to run more smoothly. During the past few years, our soccer teams have grown to over 130 players and 70 families per season. Please read the following carefully. With the number of people involved in the program, we are sure you understand the need for everyone to know our policies and procedures in order for things to run smoothly.

1. Open Soccer registration will happen ONCE a year, from June 1^st through August 1^st for the Fall AND Spring seasons. When you register in the Fall, we will assume you are going to play in the Spring, unless you inform us otherwise. We understand not every family will desire to play during both seasons. Please indicate that when you register and adjust payment accordingly. Those families that register during this time will have first priority for team placement. If you decide to wait and register in the Spring, we cannot guarantee any team openings and your child may be placed on a waiting list.
2. CHAP soccer teams will play in the CARS (Capital Area Recreational Sports) league, with teams from Windemere Park Charter Academy, The Seventh Day Adventist & potentially other organizations
3. CHAP soccer teams will be coached by volunteer CHAP dads.
4. Teams will be filled on a first come, first served basis. You will not be placed on a team until your registration form is received with payment for a least half of the year. When available teams are filled, a waiting list will be started. If enough players are on the waiting list to form an additional team, and if there is enough room in the league to add another team, we will add teams to the league as coaches volunteer to coach them.
5. We will make every effort to accommodate your requests for team placement, however our number one goal will be to balance teams according to skill level since they will play against each other several times during the season.
6. Cost for the season is as follows:
$30 per player per season (i.e. $60 for Fall & Spring/person). Maximum family charge: $60 per season/ $120 per year. You may split your payment, half of the
year being due with your registration and remaining balance being due by April 1^st prior to the spring season.
7. Uniform shirts will be provided by CHAP to be used during the year. The uniforms will be turned in at the end of the year. In the event a shirt is lost or damaged beyond normal wear and tear, a $15 replacement charge will be assessed.
8. Players will be required to wear shin guards during all practices and games. Soccer cleats are recommended for all players, especially at the U10 and U13 levels.
9. All coaches, players, parents and spectators must demonstrate good sportsmanship in conduct and speech at all times.
