What is Recreation Part Two – Creating a Team

Teams are formed by the club registrar who works hard to accommodate many factors. Players who were on a team the previous year and register before the priority registration deadlines are assigned first. Next, the registrar looks at coach and buddy requests. We understand that juggling home, work, and soccer is difficult and sometimes you need help. We will attempt to make sure that buddies who carpool stay together. Then we start filling in the empty spots. Forming teams is a true juggling act, we are moving kids around constantly to put the new coach and his/her child on the team that needs them, sometimes we don’t have enough kids to form a new team in an age group. This can involve moving multiple players to allow everyone to play. One final issue is that we allow players to continue to register after the initial teams are formed. Depending on the date that you register, we may only have limited options for you because we have already sent the club’s team list in to the association. They need time to create the schedule. Our goal at Salmon Creek is to find a way for every child to play and we do our best to make that happen. You can help us by registering before June 30th for Fall season and before March 1st in the Spring. Please be patient while we form teams!
