Practice schedules are set by each team's volunteer coach (so if you volunteer to coach, you get to pick the days and times!). Most teams begin practicing in mid-August and meet twice a week, typically Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 5-6 PM or 6-7 PM.
Most Saturdays during September and October. Depending on the schedule, you may have a single week off during the season.
Home games are at Bakerview Park. Away games take place in Burlington, LaConner, Conway, Sedro-Woolley, or Anacortes. The older the team, the more travel you can expect.
Our youngest age groups, U6 and U7, are co-ed "micro" levels and don't have goalies. All other age groups have goalies and are split into boys and girls teams.
Absolutely. We're a recreational club, and many of our players are brand new or just here for fun. There are no tryouts. When forming teams, our priority is keeping friends together — if your player has a friend on a team, note it during registration and we'll try to place them together. We strive to give all players equal playing time and to build teams around fun and friendship, not competitiveness.
Team assignments are typically announced in late July or early August. Once teams are formed, your coach will reach out with practice details, schedule, and what to expect for the season.
Late registration may be available on a limited basis if there's room on a team, and is subject to a $25 late fee. To guarantee your child a spot, we strongly encourage registering during the open window.
Games go forward in most weather, including light rain. If conditions become unsafe — heavy rain, lightning, or unplayable fields — your coach will communicate any cancellations or rescheduling. Dress your player for the conditions and bring layers.
