Can I request a particular coach?
Yes. There is a special request field on the online registration form. Please note that this does not guarantee that a player will be assigned to the requested coach. We will attempt to accommodate all requests. Please understand that, unfortunately, we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
Can I request that my child be on the same team as another child?
Yes. As with the coach request, there is a special request field on the online registration form. Please note this does not guarantee that the player(s) will be assigned to the same team. We will attempt to accommodate all requests. Please understand that, unfortunately, we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
Can I request that my child play up to the next age division?
Yes. There is a question on the registration form for play up players, a reason MUST be given if requesting to play up. All requests will be considered. When registering you will register for the age group for the player's birth year. Once the player is approved to play up to the next age group, we will manually move him or her to the next division.
Playing up is not allowed in the Micro Division. Playing up is reserved for experienced players who have the physical and mental abilities to play in an older age group.
Example: your daughter turns 13 this year so she should play on a U14 team. Register her for U14 and request she plays up. If the request is approved we will move her up to a U15 team.
***A new play up request must be indicated EVERY year, the registrar will not place
them on a higher age group without this question being filled out during registration***
Can I request that my child play down an age division?
Yes. Playing down is allowed for the following reasons:
- Mentally or Physically challenged
- Physical disability
- Medical issues that prohibit age appropriate play.
If any of these apply please do the following:
- We must have a letter from the child's doctor stating the medical, physical or mental challenge. It must include the doctors recommendation to play at a younger age division.
- Additionally, we need a letter from the parents/guardians stating the need to play down and why.
Please send your letters to the Registrar at [email protected].
I live outside the Stanwood/Camano Island School District boundaries, can my child still play?
These requests will be handled on a case by case basis. It is our wish to provide all children an opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of soccer. Requests will be considered with this in mind.
*** Please remember all special requests must be submitted by their deadline ***
