MVYSA 2012 fall season registration is now OPEN!!
Online registration for all age categories is now open. Just visit the "registration" page for details and to get started.
For those without computer access and those who wish to pay by check/cash, there are several opportunities to come register in-person. The schedule is now posted on the "events" page.
Board members are still needed for 2012!
Although we were successful in getting some new volunteers to step forward and help us out this upcoming year, several BDC positions remain unfilled. Hopefully, we can get a few more volunteers to help out. If you are interested in any of the vacant positions, just come to our next regular meeting. The schedule is posted to the 'events' page (no meeting in December). If you have questions about this, contact Chad Burton at: president@mvysa.org

About our season:
Our season begins with player registrations. Regular registration typically begins in mid-April, and continues through mid-June each year. We do accept late registrations through August, if roster space permits. Please review our operating polices (see the "By-Laws & Policies" page) for details about this.
Team rosters are distributed to the coaches during early August. You should be contacted by your assigned coach around the 15th of August. The practice schedule and start date are determined by each individual coach. Most coaches will have 2 practices per week. Most practices will last 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours (this varies by age).
(If you are concerned about practice schedule conflicts, a great way to avoid this is to volunteer to be a coach!! See the "contacts" page and contact the Coaching Coordinator).
The games are usually held on Saturdays. We usually kick off the season with a MVYSA Jamboree on the Saturday before Labor Day. The regular season will begin on the first Saturday after Labor Day. For U-10 and younger, the season will usually end the last Saturday in October. For U-11 and older, the season will usually end the following week with the Skagit Valley Youth Soccer Association championship tournament (usually the first weekend of November).
Equipment Exchange: MVYSA will be holding an "equipment exchange" at the in-person registrations. If you have used (but still serviceable) soccer shoes or shin guards that you no longer need, please donate them. If you need equipment, come see if we have what you need. There is no cost to receive gear and a donation is not a requirement.
