House Soccer Program – Spring 2016

1. Firm Registration Deadline: April 22, 2016. No players will be accepted after this date. Because teams need to be formed and schedules finalized, there will be no exceptions to this policy.
2. Enhanced Schedule. Games will be played on Saturdays, but there will be an additional practice session held Wednesdays. Games will be held at the Orchard Park Soccer Complex at 6909 Milestrip Road in Orchard Park at the following times:

   Grade	Game Day/Time	Wednesday Practice Time	Where
   K-1st	Saturday / 12:30pm – 1:30pm	5:30pm – 6:15pm	OPSC Milestrip Road Soccer Complex

   6th-8th	Saturday / 10:30am – 12:00pm	6:15pm – 7:00pm	OPSC Milestrip Road Soccer Complex

3. Improved Coaching. We have instituted a standardized and proven coaching curriculum that will expedite player development, and provide a framework of weekly practice plans. These plans will be simple to follow, even for parents with no coaching experience, and the club will provide guidance as needed. The House program cannot function without parent volunteers; coaching is easy to learn and rewarding – please consider coaching your child’s team!
4. New Coaching Benefit. Any parent who volunteers and is selected to be the Head Coach for their child’s team will receive a full refund of the registration fee.

Payments must be made in full for players to be placed on a team. (Our focus is for the kids to play, so if you are in need of financial assistance please let us know. Everything is kept confidential).
