Registration for Spring 2010 opens November 23, 2009
Parents of soccer enthusiasts – we need your help!
The Harvard Soccer Cub is working hard to ensure that your children not only have an opportunity to play soccer, but are experiencing soccer at its best. The volunteers that make up the club, including many of you, work hard to make sure the teams have the right balance and number of players to give your child the opportunity to play and excel on the field.
What does the Soccer Club need from you?
Register (and pay) for your child by December 13th!
We need you to register your child by mid- December to allow the club time to organize and register the teams with the Nashoba Valley Youth Soccer League on time. The club needs to register teams with the NVYSL by December 13th and final changes are due in mid-January. The club pays penalties (your fee money) if it has to drop teams after mid-December. And if the club gets more registrations between mid-December and mid-January, it means larger rosters and less playing time for your child. The best way for us to have the right balance of number of teams and the team roster is for you to register your child by early December. For the Spring season, registration will close on January 8, 2010, but we ask that you register by December 13th so we can get the team/roster mix correct. Get it done before the holidays and December vacations get in full swing and you will avoid the club late fee which is assessed starting December 15th!
The real change to the registration process is that we now require the fee and uniform payment at the time of registration. For many years the club has allowed registrations without payment, but unfortunately some of these payments never materialize. For this reason, starting this spring season registration, PAYPAL will be the only method of payment and checks can no longer be accepted. We regret having to take this action, but feel it is not fair that those that do pay to subsidize those that don’t.
