LATE REGISTRANTS -- Registration is closed in all divisions except for Under-6's.  Late registrants are not allowed to participate in practices until they have paid $40 to cover their $5 late fee and completed their $35 buyout obligation for the candy sale fundraiser.

bullet

RESTRICTIONS -- No Dogs, Smoking or Alcohol is allowed on or near any of our soccer fields.

PLAYER PICK UP --We can not be responsible for your children if you fail to pick them up after games or practices.  Coaches are not allowed to drive players home.  In case of emergency make sure that you have a way of contacting someone with whom you left your child.  If you abandon your children at a field, be prepared to pick them up at the police station.  This sounds harsh but is for the protection of all the players & our volunteer coaches.

NO JEWELRY -- Players may not wear ear rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, etc. during games or practices.  Referees are not given any latitude regarding this rule.  Please do not send you child to a game or practice wearing any such items.

GOALS -- Portable goals are not to be moved off the field to which they are designated.  This applies to all coaches at all times.

PARKING --  Properly parking your vehicles is a matter of safety, respect for property and the law.  Improper parking will not be tolerated.  Please park in proper spots even if that means a few minutes walk to your child's activities.  Police will be ticketing at all fields.

bullet

BADGES -- Our Township requires all coaches to have passed a background check and to wear their Township issued photo ID whenever they are coaching.  Instructions for applying for a background check can be found on the Township website.  Before applying for a background check, you must first coordinate with the soccer league so that the Township can confirm the need for processing the request.

bullet

TRAINING -- Coaches, please remember that our Bylaws require coaches training.  "All Coaches U8 and above must obtain a NJYSA "F" license or higher."   Click here for the latest schedule of "F" License courses.

bullet CAMP -- Thank you to everyne who helped out with hosting our annual soccer camp.  A lot of effort on the part of those who organized the camp, prepared the field, housed the trainers, and monitored the camp.  Without the many hours you volunteered we would not be able to host this camp within our township each year.
