Player Placement Guidelines

Board of Directors Guidelines for Player Placement

As part of the team formation process the Norwalk Soccer Club Board of Directors determined that there would be 4 criteria used for level 3 player placement on teams. Updated 5/19/2014


In order of priority they are:

1. Registration Deadline - Players must have completed registration before the posted deadline to ensure placement on a team.


2. Age of the Player - players are placed on age appropriate team (age not grade).  The club has no authority to modify this requirement.


3. Parental Request - valid written requests are for a player to "play-up" or be placed on a different team. A parent cannot request a specific team or coach.

Requests to "play up" will be reviewed by and is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. A player can only play down using an 8th grade waiver in the Spring season.


4. Coach Availability - Team formation may be based on the availability of a coach.


Important Notes:

  • In the event that there are too many players for a team the Registrar will assign new  players based on criteria 1 through 4 and then by date and time of registration or history of previous registration with the club.
  • At the U8 and U10 age groups, rosters will change approximately 50% from season to season. This reinforces the club’s focus on player development and not a specific team or a specific coach.
