Additional Details
Requests:
We will try to accommodate requests for specific practice days, times and locations however, we cannot guarantee this. Requesting a specific coach will not guarantee placement with that coach. Enter your request under the COMMENT box when you are registering. Also, please enter days your child may not be able to practice during the week. Practices will be held at local subdivision parks within the North Valley. Our goal is to not have anyone drive more than 20 minutes for a practice.
Our Volunteer Coaches:
Our 5 v 5 grassroots recreational soccer league is coached by volunteer parents and High School FC Batavia Players. Players who have parents willing to coach will move to the top of our registration list. FC Batavia provides training programs for volunteers interested in coaching. We hope you will consider helping our 5 v 5 Grassroots Recreational Soccer Program by volunteer coaching. If interested, there is a section in the online registration program to select volunteer/coach.
Uniforms:
FC Batavia will provide a game jersey for all players.
ALL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR SHIN GUARDS. Soccer cleats are to be worn. For player safety, players may either wear prescription sports goggles or sports goggles over regular glasses. Regular eye glasses alone are not allowed to be worn. There will be no wearing of jewelry (earrings, rings, necklaces, watches), hard casts and any items deemed harmful by the referees.
Game Cancellations:
If games are cancelled due to weather, we will make up games by including double headers on saturdays, extend a week and/or play on a weeknight. If multiple Saturdays are cancelled due to weather, some games may not be made up.
Bad Weather:
Weather is unpredictable and causes cancellations of practices & games. Cancelled practices/games can be caused by consistent rain/snow, poor field condition, lightning, thunder, temperatures over 105 degrees & temperatures under 40 degrees. There will be no credits or refunds when practices are cancelled. Most games will be made up. Cancelled practice can be made up another day during the week if volunteer coach is able.
