Our coaches meeting will be held this coming Sunday (09/08/2109) at 5PM at Southwood Valley Elementary School. If you have signed up to coach please make sure to attend the meeting as we will be going over new rules for all divisions as well as handing out rosters and equipment. If you haven't signed up to coach yet, but are still interested please register as a coach on gotsoccer.com at: https://www.gotsport.com/asp/users/login_menu.asp 

If you have any questions regarding coaching in general please reach out to a board member, and if you have questions for a particular division reach out to that division's coordinator:

If you are not coaching what does this mean for you? 
This means that coaches will be receiving their rosters Sunday evening. Give the coaches a few days to email you regarding practices, etc. If you have not heard from your coach by Friday 09/13/2019 please let a board member know.

​Getting excited for another great season!

We will be having an in-person registration this Saturday (August 24th, 2019) from 9-11AM, at Central Park in College Station. Look for us set up by the tennis courts. We will be out to assist anyone and everyone with registering for the Fall 2019 Season or to answer questions in-person. Find us in front of the tennis courts in the red box.
​

Registration for the Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 seasons is open! Registration will go until August 25th. Our new pricing for Fall and Spring registration is shown below:

Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 (prepaid) Registration                                                    = $125.00
Fall 2019 Registration only                                                                                       = $100.00
Spring 2020 Registration only                                                                                   = $100.00
Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 (renewed after Fall season ends) Registration              = $100.00(Fall) + $40.00(Spring) = $140.00

In other words: if you plan on registering for both the Fall and the Spring it is better to pay for both ahead of time.

Costs reflect fees incurred by the club that include: registration with BVYSA and STYSA, uniforms, equipment (balls, cones, goals, nets, etc), fields for practices and games, referees, medals for U5-U8 and tournament medals, league insurance, etc. 

If you have any questions about registration feel free to message us on Facebook or contact our Registrar at registrar@cssoccer.com

As we gear up for another season the College Station Soccer Club Board has met to discuss changes for the Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 seasons. These changes are outlined below:

Costs: As the club grows, the costs associated with Registration have been changed to reflect the costs incurred by the club. These costs include registration with BVYSA and STYSA, uniforms, equipment (balls, cones, goals, nets, etc), fields for practices and games, referees, medals for U5-U8 and tournament medals, league insurance, etc. For this reason, the costs for the following season will be:
Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 (prepaid) Registration                                                    = $125.00
Fall 2019 Registration only                                                                                       = $100.00
Spring 2020 Registration only                                                                                   = $100.00
Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 (renewed after Fall season ends) Registration              = $100.00(Fall) + $40.00(Spring) = $140.00

In other words: if you plan on registering for both the Fall and the Spring it is better to pay for both ahead of time.

U17 Team Assignment: The way U17 teams will be assigned has been changed to increase fairness in regards to Co-ed play. Player and coach requests will still be respected (as possible), however girls will be assigned to teams first to make sure Co-ed #s are even. Then boys will be added (again player and coach requests will be honored as possible) until teams reach the maximum number of players.

Mercy Rule: A mercy rule has been added to facilitate good sportsmanship in older divisions (U10-U17). Anytime the goal differential reaches 7 goals (i.e. 7-0, 8-1, 9-2, etc.) the game shall be called, teams will be mixed up with pinneys and the rest of game time will be played as a scrimmage with mixed teams.

Goal Kicks: The goal kick rule has changed for U7-U17. The goal kick does NOT have to leave the penalty box to be considered in play. Once the ball is touched it is considered in play. All players (except the one taking the goal kick) must be outside of the penalty box prior to the kick.

Coaches: A maximum of 2 coaches per team will be allowed on the sideline for games. All coaches must have their KidsSafe badge at every game. This is to limit the amount of coaching confusion for players and parents and to more easily comply with KidsSafe badge rules.

Additional rule/policy changes may be made and will be announced prior to the start of the season. If you have any questions/concerns regarding rule/policy changes please contact one of the members of the Executive Board.

Parents, players, and coaches all have a designated area at our games.  Our field marshals have seen a lot of folks in the wrong places the last few weeks.

Only coaches wearing the current season KidSafe badge and players are allowed between the fields.  No siblings, parents, former players, or any other spectators should be on the player/coach side of the field.  You can see the areas marked in red below:

Parents, siblings, and all other spectators need to be on the opposite side of the field (not the end of the field or on the player/coach side).  Please observe the spectator lines at your field.  The grass fields have a dashed or broken line painted and the Turf fields at VPAC have a yellow line.  You and everything you bring to the game (children, pets, chairs, umbrellas, etc) should be behind that line.  Please see photos below for example: 

The city has also painted some new lines on Patriot and Ranger at VPAC this season. These dashed or broken lines show coaches and players where they should be during their games.  This gives the players on the field and the referees plenty of space to play/work.  All players, coaches, equipment, snacks, drinks, etc should be behind the line.  There is an end to the line just before midfield to remind coaches that they need to stay in their end of the field.  The end of the line in the other direction is the furthest coaches should go toward the goal line on their end of the field.  Please see photo for example below:
​

All of the divisions that play at VPAC (U10, U12, U14, and U17) will have photos taken this Saturday 10/7.  Teams should arrive 45 minutes prior to their game.  Pictures will be taken on a first come first serve basis (according to which full team arrives first).  Please see the red circle in the photo below, that is where photos will be taken.
