Season F.A.Q.

:: When will we hear from the coach?

You will hear from coaches after the Coach Meeting. The coach meeting is typically toward the end of March for the Spring Season and near the end of August for the Fall Season. Please refer to the main homepage or link to the Google calendar for the listing of all of our upcoming events. 

:: When do practices start?

The coach will determine the practice days/times, usually 2 practice days/week. 6U games are normally held on Wednesday or Thursday evenings. 8U, 10U, 12U and 15U games are held on Saturday mornings.

Fall Season: Practices will typically start at the end of August/early September
Spring Season: This can vary, depending when the Easter holiday falls. Practices will start near the end of March/beginning of April (weather permitting). 

:: What is the game schedule?

Coaches will receive the game schedule at the coach meeting and share it with families during the first days of practice.

Fall Season: 6U division games will typically be the first Wednesday or Thursday following Labor Day. 8U, 10U, 12U, and 15U games will be the first Saturday following Labor Day.
Spring Season: This can vary, depending when the Easter holiday falls. Games will typically begin near the middle of April (weather permitting). 

:: When do we get uniforms?

Uniforms will be distributed by the Coaches prior to the first game.

:: How do we get to the fields?

Please refer to the "Field Directions" tab for links to all of the Area fields.

What does my child need?

Here is a breakdown of what you'll need for every PRACTICE and every GAME.

  • Cleats or Sneakers (cleats are highly recommended, no metal cleats)
  • Tall Soccer Socks (Red for games, any color for practice)
  • Shin Guards UNDER Tall Soccer Socks
  • Practices: Weather appropriate, comfortable clothing
  • Games: Williamsport Red Jersey, Black Shorts, & Tall Red Soccer Socks (when it's cold you can layer black long clothing under your uniform. For safety, please, no hoods.)
  • Soccer Ball:
    • 6U & 8U (Size 3)
    • 10U & 12U (Size 4)
    • 15U (Size 5).
    • The sizes should be noted on the ball itself when purchasing.

The Jersey is the only thing that really needs to be purchased through us. We also suggest our socks, so they all match. Everything else can be purchased from any local sports store, mass retailer, or online. 


Weather Policy

Soccer is an all-weather sport. Always assume "game on"!

We don't cancel games simply because it's raining (or maybe even snowing!). Unless you hear from your coach, or until a cancellation is posted on social media or communicated via email. Coaches will receive communication from the RC and communicate to their teams. As long as there is no lightning, this does not change our game schedule but it does mean that the SPECTATORS may want to come prepared! Towels for the muddy kids to protect the car; umbrellas; a hot cup of coffee--come with whatever you need for the weather, but come prepared to cheer on the kids in the rain. Blankets, hats, gloves, and coats will be helpful for spectators in cold weather.

THUNDER and LIGHTNING:
According to the AYSO National  Severe Weather Play Guidelines, thunder and lightning are treated in THE EXACT SAME MANNER. Our first concern in the presence of lightning is the safety of our players and families. Should lightning be seen or thunder heard, referees will stop the game, and players, spectators and coaches are advised to immediately clear the field and seek shelter in a vehicle (under trees, pavilion and concession stand are not considered safe shelter). Games should not resume until 30 minutes have passed from the most recent recognition of either thunder or lightning. Each instance of thunder or lightning during the period of delay will result in a reset of the 30-minute period. Note that in many cases, the initial delay will result in termination of the match because another match is scheduled on the same field.

Region 293 Refund Policy

The National Player Fee ($25 as of Membership Year (MY) 2024) and the Sports Connect transaction fee ($3.50 as of May 28, 2025) are non-refundable.

I also understand that the regional registration fees will not be refunded after August 1 for the Fall Season and March 1 for the Spring Season as uniforms and equipment for players and teams have already been ordered.
