Welcome to JP Childrens' Soccer!
Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 09:10PM Spring 2013 Season On-Line Registration is Closed!
Online Registration for the Spring 2013 season is now closed. We will be sending e-mail confirmation of your team assignment and practice time within a few days.
There will be a limited amount of Walk-On registration available at Pinebanks Field the first day of the season for each practice time, Wed 4/24, or Sat 4/27. This is the only way to get on a team now, but it is first come first served (i.e. wed for best chance). The teams currently with room are:
Our Teams are very full this year. Level 1 and Level 3 Teams at 10 AM are now full. Although, there is still room for level 3 teams at both 9 and 11. For level 1 we only have space for 5 kids at 9 AM and 11 kids at 11 AM. Level 2 teams at 10 AM are also getting full so please consider your second choice carefully. Level 1 on Wednesday is also closed now as the teams are full and we can not have more teams without coaches.
Thursday's Cancelled! - Due to a lack of demand for teams on this day and more importantly a lack of coaches, we are left with no option but to cancel this day. If you want a week day option you will need to pick Wednesday. We will communicate with those already signed up. We are sorry to have to do this.
The Spring Season runs from Wednesday April 24th to Saturday June 22nd at Pinebanks Field (see our FAQ page for a map). Registration will close on Friday, April 12th. The earlier you register, the more likely you are to get your 1st choice practice time. The spring season is also very popular and so we can not accept any late registrations.
The season is 8 weeks, with a one hour "practice" for all the teams, held on Wednesday at 4 PM or Saturday at 9, 10 and 11 AM. One key for us every season is volunteers to be coaches and team parents. Please consider taking on one of these roles. We are always in need of coaches, particularly for our Wednesday and Thursday teams. (Warning: We do not have enough coaches on Wednesday teams, and all Level 3 teams (except 9 AM); without coaches, we may need to cancel these times)
Please read through our 5 Things to Know listed at the top of this page as well as the About JPCS and FAQ page to learn more about JP Children's Soccer.
There is no Saturday practice or Sunday games on Memorial Day Weekend (May 25th and 26th). Level 3 players may also come to an optional scrimmage on Sunday Afternoons at Pinebanks at 3:00 PM. Level 3 coaches will be there to coordinate the games.
Registration Age Guidelines (Yes, the minimum age is absolutely 3.5)
3.5 – 4.5: Level 1
4.5 – 5-5: Level 2
5.5 - 6.5: Level 3
If you want your child to play with a friend (s) please coordinate the time and day in advance with the other parents prior to your registration.
The cost for the season is only $25, and we are an all inclusive league with no set boundary lines. Children from all neighborhoods and towns are welcome. New this year, we are offering a discount for coaches, so if you select to be a coach for your childs team, the fee will only be $10
Now if you are ready to register go to: www.jpcsregister.com
Parents/Coaches – New regulations for the City of Boston require us to certify that all coaches and other personnel involved in the league have been provided training regarding head trauma. This will be in the form of an on-line video that we will ask all volunteer coaches. If you want to get a jump on the training please link to the CDC video; CDC concussion training. We realize it is long, but we and other sports league will all be required to certify that you watch it and that you are engaged in the prevention of head trauma in partnership with us. We will also post more information on this when registration opens.
If you still have equipment and need to get it back to us please let us know with an email to contact@jpchildrensoccer.org or send a message to the coach coordinator.
JP Children’s Soccer has a long history of supporting children in the community and this is all based on the volunteer coaches and team parents. Our Leadership Team is also comprised of volunteers and we are always looking for new additions to the leadership team to take on roles that allow us deliver this popular program to the JP Community. If you are interested in joining our team please contact us as contact@jpchildrensoccer.org.
We always need new coaches and we count on many of our previous volunteers to return. Thank you! Our league depends on its parents! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THERE EVERY WEEK! WE STAFF EACH TEAM WITH AT LEAST TWO COACHES.
Thanks to JP Licks for their continued support of JP Childrens' Soccer.
