We Have Answers!

Shin guards and cleats are recommended. Comfortable athletic wear is fine — no special uniform needed for practice. Your Jr. Crew game shirt will be provided at the start of the season.

Absolutely! Junior Crew is designed for beginners. Most of our players are brand new to soccer. Our coaches focus on fun, fundamentals, and building confidence — no experience necessary.

Every player gets equal playing time. Junior Crew is development-focused, not win-focused. Every child on the roster will play in every game.

We play in most weather conditions. In the event of lightning or severe weather, sessions may be canceled or postponed. You will be notified via email if a session is canceled.

Teams are formed by age and grade to keep things balanced and age-appropriate. We do our best to accommodate friend or sibling requests when possible — note this in your registration.

Our coaches are trained to create a welcoming, low-pressure environment. We've had many shy kids blossom into confident players by the end of the season. Give it a few sessions — it makes a big difference!

Players who are ready to take their game to the next level can move into our Select program. We'll help guide your family to the right next step when the time comes.
