To calculate your player’s soccer age, you subtract your child’s birth year, from the end of the seasonal year. For Example: In the 2023-2024 seasonal year, If your child is born in 2010 and the seasonal year ends in 2024, the calculation is 2024 – 2010 = 14. Your child’s soccer age is U14.

When you join a team, your committing to that team for the entire registration year, June through May. The club hasn’t voted on dues for the 2024-2025 registration year yet, but you can view the prior year’s registration dues as a starting place. The club will continue to offer more means of payment like this year including Credit Cards and Checks and a 10-month payment plan.

Starting in 2023, Woodland Soccer Club began to formalize the process of player to team assignments post tryouts, with the goal of producing the most competitive teams and to provide players with the best match of skill level to competition. Woodland Soccer Club Coordinators created ranked teams in each age group and assigned a ‘Orange’, ‘White’, and ‘Black’ team ordering. During tryouts selection of players to join a team will be conducted in the order of the team rank. The coach of the ‘Orange’ team will be granted first rights to offer a squad position on their team to any player in the age group, coach of the ‘White’ team is granted second rights, and so on depending on how many teams are present in that age group.

A player/parent may reject an offer to join a team from a coach to play on a higher ranked team, in which case the coach from the next lower ranked team can then offer a position on their team to that player. Players and family should have candid and open discussions with the Director of Coaching, Coordinator and the coaches about what is best for their player’s development.

Every player is required to tryout in their own age group at least 1 day of tryouts, this is mandatory. Players may then attend tryouts for older age groups, however this may mean they will not be properly evaluated for the teams in their age group. Players who do not try out for their age-eligible team may not be selected for that team.

Each year a new Playing Up Request and Consent Form must be filled out by the parent, c0ach and club after tryouts and agreeing to play for the older age group team.

For the benefit of the player’s development regards players playing up for an older age group when a more competitive team is available in their respective age group. Specifically, if a player is playing up for a team which is playing in the silver or below divisions and a team in their respective age group that player will be placed on a team in their respective age group.
