Registration can only be completed online through our website.

Your child must be the minimum or maximum age when the season begins. We divide participants by grade level. Please list the grade your child will be in during that particular season. Kindergarten is for those in kindergarten as well as ages 4 and 5 but not enrolled in school yet. First and second grades will play together, third and fourth, fifth and sixth, and seventh and eighth, respectively. Ninth through twelfth grades will play in one “High School” division. For our soccer league only, we offer a pre-K division which would be available for children ages 3 and 4.

We will make every attempt to have siblings practice on the same night. Please be sure to complete the Sibling Participant section of your form. In some instances, a particular grade division may not have a practice on your selected night of practice. You will be notified as to whether you prefer the two nights or if you prefer to move the other children to the available night.

We will make every attempt to honor carpools. Registrations must have the nights of practice in same preferential order. If you wish them to be on the same team, both parties must have friends listed on registration. Make sure to check with friends, family and neighbors before submitting your forms. We are unable to take any verbal, written or late requests.

Yes! It is very important that each child have their own registration form and that it is filled out completely. These forms are given to the coaches to properly contact you and your child. We can only assist you as well as the information provided. Addresses and phone numbers are used for future recreation mailings and phone messages.

In addition to registration, each child must have a current year’s liability waiver completed on file. If you have completed this for another season or IBC event in the current calendar year, you do not have to complete another.

Yes! The more the merrier. You do not need to be a member of our church. In fact, we encourage our members to invite their friends and neighbors.

You are welcome to attend sizing day, but these are now optional. The uniform is the most costly part of our program and to keep cost down, we try to just buy the items we need, so we request you chose a size that will most closely fit your child. If you are not sure about a size, we would encourage you to attend the sizing day. Our sizing usually runs YS, YM, YL, AS, AM, AL, AXL.  Vendor sizes may vary slightly.

No. Unfortunately we cannot accept registrations that are faxed or emailed to us. We are currently unable to make any changes to your registration once it has been submitted. Please make every effort to make sure all information is correct before submitting. Thank you for your understanding.
