WANTED: Volunteer Coaches for Fall 2020 Recreation Soccer with FFC

The FFC Recreation Program is built around volunteer coaches. Your commitment will just a few hours per week for practices and games. If you are interested in coaching an FFC Recreation Soccer team, email FFC Recreation Director, Adrian Batchelor at: [email protected] to express your interest as soon as possible. Note that you can also express your interest to volunteer when registering your child or by selecting from available volunteer options from your FFC Account (requires registration).

Registration Q&A

I don't see a U11 registration link - how can I register my child for U11? FFC uses an alternate year division program. Thus, we typically combine the years that are not listed with the year above. Thus, U12 consists of 10 and 11 year olds. Thus, our typical age groups are U8, U10, U12, U14 and High School (14+). However, based upon the number of registrations received in each age group, we may adjust the age groups to best balance participation. If this happens, the recreation director will notify you.
I am registering my child, but I only see U14 listed - I was expecting to see U12 for her? The registration links offered in your account for your child are based upon their date of birth. FFC utilizes US Soccer's age banding for this purpose - you can see the breakdown HERE. However, we are FLEXIBLE when it comes to the age group bandings and want your child to be able to play with their age-like friends when possible. Thus, during registration, use the Coach Request, Sibling/Carpool Request or Special Request sections to add any specific note and requests.
I see separate links for girls and boys, but I thought the FFC recreation program was coed/want my son and daughter to play on the same team. Separate links are shown for boys and girls, but FFC will default to COED in an age group that has insufficient registrations to have separate boys and girls divisions. Should there be separate boys and girls programs, the boys program could also be COED if the need is there.
I want to register my child to play for a specific coach - how do I do that? Simply add the coaches name to the Coach Request section when you register.
I want to volunteer to coach. How do I do that? If you are registering your child to play, a volunteer option will be presented to you during the process. If you are just volunteering to coach (without a child registering), simply email [email protected] with your name, best contact phone number and email address and we will take care of the process with you.
Are the FFC Uniforms required? Yes. FFC utilizes both RED (home) and BLACK (away) jerseys for all recreation teams. In Fall 2020, a new uniform has been adopted. You can purchase the jerseys via soccer.com - a link will be provided after registration. Any plain black shorts and soccer socks can be used, so you can always use those you already have.
I have received the email link to order uniforms, but it states they may take up to 28 days for delivery, which means they won't be here before the start of the season - what can I do? For practices, any shirts can be worn, but for games we require the FFC jerseys to be worn. However, delivery delays can be a challenge. You can have your child were a RED T-shirt if you are the HOME team or a BLACK T-Shirt if you are the AWAY team until your jerseys arrive. We would prefer them to be as plain as possible.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We strive to accommodate any special requests (coaches, friends, age groups, etc.)but we may not be able to accommodate every request received. Earlier registrations are more likely to have their requests met that those who register later (or late). Our recreation director will work with you where possible.

Email [email protected] with any questions not answered above and we will do our best to answer them for you.
