A revision to the SWSC bylaws will be considered at the Club’s Annual General Meeting on January 9, 2019.  This revision has many changes needed to ensure the bylaws conform to requirements from our state and national affiliates and a number of additional editorial and administrative corrections.  The draft revision can be found here

Registration for the fall soccer season has proceeded well.  The following age groups/genders are now closed as all the teams at these levels are full.  If you have a player in one of these groups, please send an email to registrar@somersetwestsoccer.org to be placed on a waiting list.  We are also in contact with our neighboring clubs and will be able to tell you if any of them have openings.

Closed Groups:

• Grade 5 Boys
• Grade 6 Boys
• Grade 6 Girls
• Grade 7 Boys
• Grade 7 Girls
• Grade 8 Boys
• Grade 8 Girls

Registration is still open for all other ages.  As teams/age groups fill up, we will keep this list updated.

Beginning in Fall, 2017, SWSC microsoccer teams will be gender-specific.  Boys and girls will be placed on separate teams although the teams will continue to include both kindergarten and first grade players.  All other clubs in the THJSL league have moved to gender-specific teams and have reported good results for the players.  Girls will be allowed to be rostered on a boy’s team if requested by the parents.

A number of changes are being implemented for Grade 2-4 teams beginning in the Fall, 2017 season.  These are being mandated by the USSF Player Development Initiative.

• Grade 2 teams are moving from having 5 players on the field (including a goalie) to 4 field players with no goalie.  Our clubs will continue to use cones for goals at this level and the size of the field does not change.  Rosters will have a maximum of 8 players.
• For Grades 2-4, no drop-kicks or punts will be allowed.
• Grade 2-4 fields will have a “build-out” line half-way between the goal box and center line.  The receiving team will need to stay behind this line until the goalie has placed the ball in play.

Registration for the Fall 2017 season is now open.  Please click one of the the Register Now buttons to take you to the online registration site.  Registration fees are remaining unchanged from the previous 3 years.  For more information, please see the Registration page for your player’s grade level.

For players turning 8 in 2017 and entering 1st grade in the fall and players turning 15 in 2017 and entering 8th grade in the fall, please send an email to registrar@somersetwestsoccer.org to obtain a discount code before registering so that you will be charged the correct program fee.

SWSC Picture day for Microsoccer through Grade 8 teams is Saturday, September 17 at Rock Creek Elementary.  Pictures have been scheduled to not conflict with your games that day.

Please be at pictures 15 minutes before your scheduled time.  Bring your completed packet – if you don’t have yours, more will be available at the school.
