REGISTRATION
Recreational Soccer is open to boys and girls born between January 1, 2007–December 31, 2018.
Registration is open from June 7–June 21, 2021
**Registration and payment need to be completed before the deadline of 11:59pm on June 21, 2021. Late registration will be accepted until 11:59pm on June 28, subject to a $10 late fee and roster availability.
To register in the online system, please click on the red "Login" button at the top of the screen if you already have an account or the "Register" button if you are a new user.
Cost is $55 for ONE child.
$45 for each additional child in the same family.
Additional cost for purchase of uniform if applicable (8U-14U).
The division that your child will play each season is determined by their birth year. ESSL uses the SAY Gold Age Matrix. Here is a condensed version of the SAY Gold Age Matrix. *Please use the 2021 column when determining your child's division for the Fall 2021 season. Our ESSL league groups the odd age divisions with the even age divisions to best fit the number of participants in our program. Therefore we offer 4U, 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U divisions.
All move up requests must be made via email to [email protected] by the initial registration deadline of June 21 to be considered. Accommodations will be made based on age group and number of players/coaches. Requests are not guaranteed.
Unfortunately, with the large number of players, we cannot honor team requests with the exception of coach/player relationships.
Fall season games will run from approximately September 1–mid October (tournaments for 8U–14U will be after regular season play ends).
Information about teams, practices and games will be communicated through your coach (timeframe for this communication is anticipated to be August at the earliest). Please be patient as we work to get everything in place at the start of the season. We understand everyone is excited to get going, but many things need to be done between the time you register your participant and when you are contacted by your participant's coach. If you have concerns about registration or anything else, you can always contact the soccer board at [email protected].
UNIFORMS
If you have a child playing in the 4U or 6U divisions, a free t-shirt will be provided to your child. If your child is playing in the 8U–14U divisions, you are responsible for ensuring your child has the official red Eastwood uniform for the season. Red team jersey, shorts & socks are purchased after registration for 8U, 10U, 12U, & 14U players that DO NOT currently have a uniform that fits. Previous year uniforms are acceptable, so if you have this uniform from a previous season and it still fits your child you are not required to purchase a new uniform. The official Eastwood uniform can be purchased from Ortinau Art.
If you have a child playing 8U through 14U and need to order a uniform, please click here to order from Ortinau. Uniforms will be delivered to your child's coach at the beginning of the season. Uniforms must be purchased by 7/11/21 in order to receive them in time for the start of the season and avoid rush shipping charges that will be charged directly to your order if it is after July 11, 2021.
COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS
We will continue to follow any guidelines for play set forth by US Soccer, SAY, and the State of Ohio. As we move forward preparing for fall soccer season we recognize any changes with the COVID-19 pandemic could require us to be flexible with how we run our season and it may look different than a typical season from before the pandemic. All participants and spectators must follow any COVID safety protocols the EYSA board deems necessary. Any participant or spectator who refuses to follow these protocols could be asked to leave the practice/game location. If we should have to cancel our fall 2021 soccer season due to COVID-19 restrictions we will plan to issue participants a credit towards next season unless a written request for a refund is made to [email protected]
