What should I bring?
Please bring cleats, shin guards, size 3 soccer ball, water, and a uniform.
Will uniforms be provided?
WBYS provides uniforms (shirt, shorts, socks) for our tots only (U4 and U5.) U6 and older buy their own: buy uniform here.
Will there be games with referees?
Soccer at this age is all about building skills and having fun. We do not break up into a league of teams. We practice and have intra-squad scrimmages within the specific age groups. Travel soccer starts at the U9 level.
Will there be coaches?
We have professional trainers, but are always in need of parent coaches to help the trainers out. Please consider signing up to help coach and volunteer. Register Here
Can my kid play with his/her friend in a different age group?
No, sorry. It’s a safety issue.
Can I volunteer to coach or help coach even if I have no soccer experience?
Absolutely, we always need volunteer coaches and we have professional trainers to guide you along the way. Please Register Here
What should I do with my gently used stuff from last season?
We have equipment swaps at the beginning and end of each season. Bring your old cleats/uniforms/balls and peruse for the next season!
