Hello Families and Friends of Belmont Soccer!
When Can I Register My Child For Fall Soccer?
Registration is OPEN.
When Does Fall Soccer Registration Close?
In an effort to finalize and announce teams earlier, registration will close on Monday, June 24th. If your child registers AFTER June 24th, we cannot guarantee them a spot on a Travel Team. That said, if you have any friends who you know aren't good at checking email, PLEASE forward this email and any other emails that come in around registration.
Why Do You Have to Close Registration?
In early July, Belmont Soccer has to submit to BAYS the number of teams that Belmont will have for each grade as well as information on each of those teams. This process results in what divisions our teams are placed. We can only give accurate information based on the number of kids who have registered by June 24th. If you register your child prior to June 24th, they are guaranteed a spot on a team (with the exception of 3rd Grade.) We kindly ask that you register on time to avoid any issues.
When Are Tryouts?
Unlike previous years, the BSA has decided to use the grade level clinics to help create the teams for next year. Below are the dates and times for the clinics / tryouts. If your child can attend both clinics for their grade - great! But if they can only make one, that won't be a problem. If your child cannot attend either clinic, the BSA will rely on historical data and end of season evaluations for their placements. A reminder that our travel committee spends hours upon hours creating the teams. We give every single player the attention they deserve. It will never be perfect - soccer is a subjective sport - but we do our best.

A Bit More Info on the Clinics / Tryouts:
- Clinics / tryouts will be held at Winn Brook.
- Each clinic will be 75 minutes.
- Each clinic will be run by volunteer coaches under the guidance of our Director of Coaching. Coaches will receive more information from our Director of Travel, Brendan Field. Coaches / volunteers will NOT be present for any clinic in which their own child is playing.
- You will be asked during registration which clinic(s) your child plans on attending so the BSA can best prepare for each clinic.
- We kindly ask that Parents do NOT stick around to watch the tryouts. It's better for the kids.
