Frequently asked questions:

Where do I get the uniform? Players will receive a T-Shirt at the orientation meeting. The rest of the uniform can be purchased at Soccer USA in Edmond on Danforth and Kelly. They are ready to serve all your soccer equipment needs.

Will my U4 have a coach? Each team has a volunteer parent coach. Prior coaching experience is helpful, but not required. Coaches assist the team in communication, organization, and managing the games. It is a good idea for each team to have an assistant coach.

Will there be practice during the week? Teams are free to set and conduct their own practices. Most teams may practice once a week in someone's backyard for an hour or so.
