Girls: Pre-Kindergarten – 7th grade
Must be 4 yrs. old by April 1 to play in spring, and 4 yrs. old by September 1 to play in the fall.
Teams
Players are divided by gender and grade. We attempt to form teams around schools, AND the availability and location of coaches. If a school neighborhood does not have enough parent volunteer coaches, then players are put on teams in school neighborhoods that do. If more parents volunteer to coach in a grade level than there are teams, then not everyone will be able coach.
Specific team requests are not accepted. Encourage your child to welcome new faces and make new friends, and the opportunity to learn different skills from different coaches.
In the event that we lose a coach, then GLSA will ask parents on that roster to come forward to coach, to keep that team intact. If no one comes forward, then the team is disbanded and players spread out among other teams with openings. If there are no openings, then a refund will be issued.
Later registrants are placed on teams with openings, on a 1st-come, 1st-serve basis, until teams are filled.
ROSTERS
Preschool & Kindergarten = 10 (play 2- 3v3)
1st = 12 (play 2-4v4)
2nd, 3rd, & 4th gr. = 10-12 (play 7v7)

Uniforms & Equipment
Each child will receive a jersey that are theirs to keep, to wear at games. Soccer shoes are recommended, but not mandatory.
All players must wear shin guards at all games. They should be size appropriate, and referees check before each game. Coaches will not allow players to practice without shin guards.
All players must remove watches, jewelry, earrings (no starter studs, see more info below), metal hair beads, etc. at practices & games.
All players must bring their own soccer ball to practice

If a player wears eyeglasses, then sports safety glasses must be worn during practices or games.
JEWELRY
GLSA prohibits players from wearing jewelry or earrings during practice or games. Children with starter studs WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY until they are removed.
Coaching
Coach and Assistant Coach assignments are done on availability of teams within a Division. Selected coaches and assistant coaches must attend the mandatory yearly coach’s seminar covering Safe Sport, goal safety and 1st aid. Only coaches and assistant coaches chosen will be notified in February via email, of your team assignment.
Parents who are not selected for coaching will be put in the volunteer pool and must register for a volunteer shift through Dibs. Learn More
Games & Practices
The 6 game season runs April 11, 2026 to May 16, 2026. Make up day if whole day is canceled due to weather is May 31, 2026.
Games will be on Saturday mornings, at LTSC.
Game Schedules for the season will be posted on the Recreation Schedules page.
Coaches decide on practice days, times, and location, which are held in neighborhood parks or school grounds. Coaches put in countless hours coaching, and are not compensated for their time, so please cooperate with them regarding practices. GLSA will not issue a refund or move players to another team because practice times or location conflict with other activities, or not with their best friend, etc.
Coaches decide their team’s practice day & time, so if this is of utmost importance to you, please volunteer to coach.
Volunteer Policy
GLSA will begin utilizing the Dibs feature in SportsEngine for the Recreational Program. Dibs allows parents to choose their own assignments. Once a shift is chosen it CANNOT be changed. Additional information can be found on the Volunteer Information page.
The “Volunteer Now” button and instructions are located on the Volunteer Info Page.
Parents who fail to register, chose and work a shift will be billed the No Show Fee $150 per child. The No Show Fee is NOT refundable under any circumstances.
If unable to volunteer, a $100.00 non-refundable buyout fee, per child, must be paid at the time of registration. Buyout fee is only offered at the time of registration.
