Are Players Registering By The Year They Are Born, Or By The Grade They Are In?

Players register by the grade they are in during that current season. For example, if a child is in 2nd grade during the spring 2025 season, that child registers for the 2nd grade division (see below for exception on playing up).

What Is The Minimum Age?

To play in PreK division, a child must be 3 years of age and older at the start of the 2025 spring season.

Can Players Play Up?

YES, Players can play up with the older grade above them. For example, a 2nd grader can play up with a 3rd grade team.

Can Players Play Down?

NO, Players cannot play down with the younger grade below them. For example, a 3rd grader cannot play down with a 2nd grade team.

Can A Current Team Sign Up To Play Together?

YES. If your team plays in other local Rec programs, and wishes to join DYS as a team, that is allowed. Please refer above to the minimum and maximum number of players allowed on each team.

Can My Child Register To Play With Their Friends/Classmates?

Yes, Coaches need to first register their child, then have the other parents register their kids. The Coach needs to email us all of the kids first and last names, and their grade division so we can roster the kids together.

Why Is There a Min And Max Number Of Players On A Team?

DYS encourages all kids the opportunity to play in their games, so creating a min and max number of players affords the kids more time on the field. BUT, DYS might need to adjust the max player on teams to ensure all kids have a team to play on, and to ensure there are enough teams created for games.

What Size Soccer Ball Do I Need To Purchase?

PreK - 2nd graders need to bring a size 3 ball, and the 3rd/4th graders need to bring a size 4 ball.

Are Shin Guards and Water Bottles Required?

YES.

How Many Coaches Per Team?

Up to 2 coaches max per team.

Will Practices, Skills Night and Games Be Played On Both Indoor and Outdoor Fields?

YES.

Will There Be Championship Games, And Who Plays In The Games?

YES, there are Championship Games. The top 2 teams in each grade division compete for the Championship Winner and Runner Up.

Can Players/Teams Create And Wear Their Own Customized Uniforms?

No, players and teams are only allowed to wear the Official DYS Uniform as required for practices and games.
