Team Formation and Select Team Overview
Level 1 & 2 Teams are formed by the Director of Coaches and the Team Approved Club Coaches. All other teams are formed by the club Registrar with approval from the the Norwalk Soccer Club Board of Directors. A soccer year comprises 2 seasons beginning in the fall and ending in the spring. At the Under 8 and Under 10 age groups, when there is more than 1 team, the rosters may change each season. This reinforces the Norwalk Soccer Club’s focus on player development and not on a specific team or specific coach.
When a team reaches capacity, the number of seasons played with the club and the date a registration was submitted may become a deciding factor. Requests for specific coaches or teams will not be granted. A parent may request for a player to move up in an age bracket or for siblings to play together.
Requests may or may not be honored and must be done in writing during the time of registration and submitted to the registrar before the registration deadline and will not be considered after team formation has been completed. For a complete review, please read
Board Guidelines for Player Placement
Requests can be made in the notes section during the online process or can be sent to the [email protected].
Girls may request to play with all girls, however if not enough players from that age group sign up, a female player may be placed on a coed team with parent/guardian approval.
Please Note: If a majority of a team is aging up in play and your child does not meet the standard age requirement for the team, the player's parent may request his/her child play up with that team. As noted above, this request will be evaluated and determined by the Norwalk Soccer Club Board.
