When will I hear from my child's coach?
Answer: You can expect to be contacted approximately
the second week in July by your child’s coach. Opening Day is
scheduled for August 4, 2012. Our season runs from
mid-July through early-mid November.
Can I request a coach? Can my child play on
the same team as his
friend?
Answer: Due to the large number of players
participating in the various programs, specific requests to
play with a friend or for a coach cannot be honored. If you
really want your child to play on the same team with their
friend, you and your child's friend's parent should sign up to
head coach and assistant coach the same team. Parents will need
to volunteer to coach prior to June 1. This will guarantee
placement of the two players on the same team. However, each
team is limited to one head coach and one assistant coach.
How are teams formed?
Answer: Teams are formed based on the geographical
location of the players. Every effort is made to keep
players and coaches in the same area. However, depending
on the amount of coaching volunteers we receive and their
location some players could find that they do not live in the
same area as their coach. The only guarantee is if the
parent signs up to coach.
What if I want to coach my child’s
team?
Answer: Our organization depends on volunteer parent
coaches to support league play. New coaches are not
required to have sport –specific knowledge and can attend a
variety of coach education sessions prior to the beginning of
the season. Please, stop by our coaches table for more
information and application.
What is the youngest/oldest a child can
play?
Answer: A player must be at least 4 and cannot turn 19
before July 31st.
Can my child play up?
Answer: EDYSL encourages all players to stay within
their age group. Special considerations must have
approval and can only be one year up.
Why does my U16-U19 player have to
travel?
Answer: Depending upon the number of
teams that we have registered in this age bracket, teams may
travel within a 35 mile radius playing in cities such as Walnut
Creek, Lafayette, Concord, and surrounding areas. Refunds
cannot be given if teams have to travel out of the area.
Where do my registration fees go?
Answer: EDYSL is a non-profit
organization and all registration fees collected go directly
back to the player and the operations of the club. Fees
cover many expenses such as uniforms, insurance, field rental,
equipment, refs, training, and more.
What do I need to provide for my child to
play?
Answer: All players will need cleats, shin guards and plenty
of water. The league will provide shirts, shorts and
socks for all players.
