Middleton Soccer Club FAQ
What age group is my player?
What is the time commitment for the Recreational program?Recreational players registering in the fall are registering for fall and spring. Fall usually runs from end of August to end of October, and spring soccer resumes in March until end of May.
We also offer a spring registration for those players who missed it in the fall. Spring registration opens beginning of January. U4: 2 practices a week (45 min), scrimmages during practice.
U6: 2 practices a week (45 min), 1 game on weekends. U8: 2 practices a week (45-60 min), 1 game on weekends. U10: 2 practices a week (60 min), 1-2 games on weekends. U12: 2 practices a week (90 min), 1-2 games on weekends. U14: 2 practices a week (90 min), 1-2 games on weekends. Do you have a fall-only registration for Recreational?We are a full-year program, but if your player is unable to return in the spring, please let your coach and registrar@middletonsoccer.org know.

What days will my player practice?A perk for our volunteer coaches is that they work with our field coordinator to choose what practice days and times work best. Because of this, we are unable to predetermine practice days and times.
What if I need to miss a practice or a game?Please let your coach know ahead of time.

Practices don't work for our schedule. Can I switch teams?We understand schedules can get hectic! However, in consideration of the number of players, teams, and coaches MSC manages, and the valuable time of our coach and board volunteers, MSC does not honor requests for teams, coaches, or players when forming teams. Switching teams for schedules, friends, or family is not permitted. Honoring requests results in a burden on the volunteer coaches and can result in the shorting or overloading of teams. Special requests for emergencies or direct family members can be considered upon request and reviewed by the managing member or Board of Directors.
