Payment for Rec Soccer includes the Fall and Spring seasons if paid in the Fall. Players will play with the same team in Fall and Spring. Indoor soccer is not included.
MSC’s primary objective in forming teams is to create fair and balanced teams. Also note that since there are no tryouts for Rec, children are placed blindly without knowing their skill set.
Note: Mentor Soccer Club reserves the right to combine divisions, birth years, and gender when necessary based on the number of participants signed up.
REC COACHES
Rec Soccer coaches are selected from parents, volunteers, and family members from MSC’s membership who sign up as Volunteers. However, all Volunteer coaches must have a Concussion and Lindsay’s Law Certificate. All rec teams MUST have a parent coach volunteer. We don’t provide coaches due to the price. Rec coaches are not required to have any soccer knowledge. ( Refunds are not given if a parent does not volunteer).
PRACTICES
Team Practices – should be held two weeks before the start of the season. However, coaches can have practices during the season as well.
GAMES
Rec Soccer games, including make-up games, are held on weeknights and Saturdays.Games are played at various fields in the City of Mentor.
MSC policy is that each player should play a minimum of 50% of the playing time. However, some players may elect not to play at their discretion when asked to play by the coach.
TOURNAMENTS
Rec teams generally do not enter tournaments. Any tournament participation would be at the coach’s and parent’s discretion, and only those families participating would be expected to pay.
VOLUNTEERS
Mentor Soccer Club is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization. We always need members to assist with required tasks. If we do not obtain enough volunteers, the club will be forced to hire people and increase fees substantially.
