2021 Spring Soccer  

We are a recreational league composed of volunteers.
Our board members and coaches are all volunteers; none of which receive remuneration.  Our programs function thanks to volunteers, and we have not figured out how to manufacture or clone helpers and/or coaches. We have always had excellent community support and we are hoping that continues to give us the ability to serve all those children wishing to participate in one of our programs. 


​


        Important Information You Should Understand About JCS:

  1. All players are expected to attend the “Team Placement Session". This is due to the fact that players are "drafted" onto teams by the JCS coaches. Our drills are designed to evaluate each player's general athleticism and basic skills relevant to the sport being played.  If you have children in more than one grade level, call the Director of that program for the best time to bring your children to the drills session since some of our programs have age specific times.                         
  2. We hold our skill session to maintain a balance of team strength within the different levels of play. We would like to see all games be competitive. This may not always be achieved, but it is our goal.
  3. A coaches child that does not attend the “Team Placement Session" is automatically a 1st round draft pick!
  4. Children who do not attend the “Team Placement Session" are not drafted. Those children are placed on teams by a random draw.
  5. Siblings are automatically placed on the same team if their grade falls within the same level of play. Our levels vary depending on the program but typically there are two or three levels. Find this information under the particular sports drop down menu.
  6. If you have siblings at the same level but DO NOT want them on the same team you must make that request.
  7. Moving your child up one level is a request you can make. THIS REQUEST MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO THE DRAFT or in all likelihood, it will not happen as there may not be room for an add at that next level or no additional jersey is available. This potential request should be approached with caution. Our program and you as a parent, hopefully, would want your child to be successful and competitive at the level they end up at. Moving up one grade level, such as moving a 4th grader up with 5th, 6th & 7th, might work. As another example; moving a 1st grader up two grade levels to play with 3rd & 4th graders is not advisable as it would not generally be in that child's best interest.
  8. Every child signed up and PAID by the cut-off deadline will be placed on a team.
  9. No child will be drafted or placed on a team until the FEE has been paid. If you are not able to pay by the the “ Team Placement Session" you can set up a "Payment Contract" at the session.  In this case your child WILL be eligible to be drafted or placed on a team.
  10. We would like every team to have two coaches. However, ONLY two coaches and their child (or children) are automatically placed together on a team at the draft.  After the draft, there is no limit on how many people may contribute as assistant coaches with a team.
  11. Due to the draft, REQUESTS are limited. You CAN make more than one request but we can only promise to do our best to honor your primary request. Our hands are tied if we try to accommodate too many requests.
  12. Requests must be made on the day of the “Team Placement Session". There will be a specific place assigned for that purpose on skills day.
  13. Part of Junior Comet Sports philosophy is to help children develop socially. We want children to intermix with new kids, create new friendships and develop comfort in new environments.
  14. Requests we ACCEPT and those we DO NOT:
    • We do accept requests; NOT to practice on a certain day.
    • We do accept requests; NOT to practice before or after a certain time on a given day.
    • We do accept requests; to MOVE your athlete up OR down a level of play based on ability and/or experience.
    • We do accept requests; NOT to have your athlete be on a certain coaches team.
    • We do accept some ride requests, especially at Kinder. Ride sharing is not encouraged at upper levels of play as we want to maintain a balance of ability level between teams. We know some coaches and parents request ride share to build team strength. This is not in the best interest of our program and is highly frowned upon and thus restricted. We do however want every athlete to be able to get to practice & games (ride share for the right reason).
    • We do NOT accept requests for your child to be with a certain coach or team. (You may ask that coach to try and draft your child)
  15. You will not get a call until several days after the draft concerning the team your child is on . The program needs time to create a practice schedule (which is no small task) and we need to make sure that requests we honored are applied appropriately for those players based on team practice times. Once these administrative tasks are finalized we will inform coaches that it is "OK" to call their players and begin practicing.
  16. Once teams have been drafted and jerseys ordered there are NO refunds. Make sure your "CHILD" wants to play. Explain they may not end up on a team with any of their current friends. Our teams are typically a blend of players from several schools.
  17. Something parents should consider: If you have 2 or 3 children participating, all at different grade levels, it is very likely you will have a practices each day of the week at different times and at different facilities (teams practice 2x/week). It is even possible to have 2 practices at the same time at different locations. These possibilities need to be considered to determine if this will work for your family.
  18. There may be additional information you might like to know about Junior Comet Sports. If so, please read our Constitution under the "Home & Gen. Info" tab. And, also (The History of Jr Comet Sports) has several items concerning our program philosophy which might be of interest.
