Registration

BYSC Spring Lil’ Vikings registration is by player. Players during registration may request a friend and we will try to group them together.

SYSA Spring Soccer registration is by team not by individual player. A coach/manager registers a team and then fills it with players. If you don’t have a team, ask around your school or friend network for a team playing and see if you can play with them for the spring.

If you cannot find a team you can register individually and the SYSA registrar will try to locate a team for you.

You can also register to coach a team and form your own roster or SYSA will help you fill the roster.

Team Spring Soccer sign-ups are on the SYSA site. Late Registration until space is filled and costs $100 extra.

This is also a great time for prospective coaches to get session training and learn from our trainers about running practices. Sign up to coach too.

The Spring Soccer Vision SYSA

Spring Soccer was started by the late SYSA President and Queen Anne Club member Neil Callahan in 2002. The idea was to give kids a chance to play some fun soccer in the off season and improve their skills by getting more touches on the ball. Spring Soccer should not be about winning or losing, standings or scores or stressed-out players. Please take Neil’s vision for Spring Soccer to heart and just let the kids play and enjoy the game in a fun, safe, creative way.
