Regular Season games for the SPRING 2025 season (2011-2014 birth years boys and girls: Under 11/12 and Under 13-15

·         Games will not start before Saturday, February 15 or Tuesday, February 18. Therefore, these teams will NOT hear from a coach or parent coordinator until AFTER opening jamboree for the younger ages.

·         Games on Tuesday and/or Thursday, and Saturdays

·         Games will be against teams from other clubs around the area. Some will be at JFC; some will be at other complexes. All other clubs do not start until mid-February, so our teams will start then as well and will not have a full schedule until the week before (because other registrations are going on)

·          All practices will be at JFC. 

Practice Days and Times:

Practice times for ALL ages are determined by individual volunteer coaches AFTER teams are formed. Teams may or may not choose to practice before the opening day. It is the volunteer coach and team decision.

Player Contact:

All players born in the 2015-2021 age groups should hear from a coach by Monday January 27 at 7:00pm if not before. Do not be alarmed if your child is not contacted immediately after registration closes as some groups will hear from coaches before others.

As our volunteer age group coordinators get information together on teams, they will pass along to coaches. Coaches are volunteers and some coaches do take longer to contact teams than others. However, all players should be contacted by coach by Monday January 27 at 7:00pm. If you are not contacted by a coach by that time, please email us at [email protected]  after 7:00pm and we will have your coach information and game information for opening day February 1st for U8-U10

Players born in 2011-2014 will not hear from a coach until approximately, Friday, February 7, 2025. If you have not heard by 7:00 on February 7, please email us at [email protected]

Coaching:

Please remember that teams cannot be formed without parent volunteers, so if you did not sign up to coach during registration, please consider doing so, no experience needed! 

There are plenty of coaching activities on our website as well to guide you as well as current coaches who will help you learn. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY - you can learn with your child.

Sign up during the registration process to get started helping these young players! Every coach does have to undergo a background check and take a 1 ½ hour SafeSport course online.

JFC will have a coach’s clinic on Thursday, January 30 in preparation for the season. More details to come.

Player equipment needed:

All players should have a soccer ball, shin guards and appropriate footwear (soccer cleats). NEW players this spring will be provided with two jerseys, black shorts, and socks. If you are a returning player from Fall 2024, you will use your existing jerseys. If you need new jerseys, please note the request in the special request section during registration.

 Players born in 2018-2021(U4-U7) should have a size 3 soccer ball. Players born in 2013-2017 (U8, U9, U10, U11 and U12) should have a size 4 soccer ball. Players born in 2011-2012 should have a size 5 soccer ball. These can be purchased at any local sporting goods store. 

Team formation disclaimer:

On older teams (2011-2014), because of team size limitations, JFC cannot guarantee the player a spot on a team if the team is already full OR if there is not enough interest to form a team. JFC complies with all applicable rules of the Mississippi Soccer Association regarding the registration and rostering of players. However, if you register before January 16 at 12:01am, there should not be any problems placing your child on a team in these age groups. If denied you will receive a full monetary refund. Please be aware at these age groups, teams may choose to form as Coed teams based on the number of children signed up. However, we will make sure there is an equal balance of games against other girls’ teams and boys’ teams in regular play. If there are not enough players signed up to form a team in U11, U12, U13 or U14, your money will be refunded.

Payment:

If you are mailing a check, please mail to ensure payment reaches us by January 16 (close of late registration). Your registration is not considered complete until full payment has been received. We will be happy to work out a payment plan for you if needed as well, just email us at [email protected]. If you need a payment plan, please contact us and we are happy to get that set up for you.
