REGISTRATION
Recreational Soccer is open to boys and girls born between 2006-2016.
Fall 2020 registration is open from July 6–July 20, 2020. **Registration and payment need to be completed before the deadline of 11:59pm on July 20, 2020.
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.
Fall season games will run from September 1–middle of October, 2020. Tentative tournament dates are as follows: girls October 17 and 18; boys October 24 and 25. Please note that as of July 1 tournaments are not allowed due to COVID-19 restrictions. These dates were chosen in the event that this ban is lifted before we reach these dates.
Information about teams, practices and games will be communicated through your coach. 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].
The division that your child will play each season is determined by their birth year. ESSL uses the SAY Gold Age Matrix found at: https://bsbproduction.s3.amazonaws.com/portals/1870/docs/2016_gold_age_matrix%203-3.pdf. Please note there have been significant changes in recent years. For example, the divisions used to be U6 (Under 6 Years) and now they are 6U (6 Years and Under).
*Please use the 2020 column when determining your child's division for the Spring 2020 season.
COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS
We are continuing to follow guidelines for returning to play set forth by US Soccer, SAY, and the State of Ohio. As of July 1 the most recent rules per the State of Ohio's requirements and best practices for contact sports states that practices may begin as of June 22, however only intra-club/team scrimmages are permitted. Competitive games and tournaments are permitted only for non-contact sports at this time. We are moving forward with preparing to have a fall soccer season while also recognizing that this soccer season may look very different than it has in the past. If we should have to cancel our fall 2020 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].
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. 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 7/25/20 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 25, 2020.
