Q: What group does my child belong in?

Q: What is the Work Bond?

A: A work bond program where each parent submits an additional fee for each child to the league upon registration. After completing volunteer assignments, the fee is returned to the family.  The fee for this year's work bond is $175.  If you know you cannot volunteer, you have the choice to buy-out of the work bond upfront for $187.50.  Otherwise, please select your volunteer preferences and then go here to sign up (unless you are a head coach). It is your responsibility to make sure your work bond is fulfilled, or you will be charged the $175. Please note that TOPs volunteering does not fulfill work bond requirements, and Munchkins are NOT responsible for work bonds.

Q: What is the TOP Soccer Program?

A: TOP Soccer stands for The Outreach Program and is a US Youth Soccer community-based training and team placement program for young athletes with disabilities. The program is designed to bring the opportunity of learning and to play soccer to any boy or girl who has a mental or physical disability. If your child is not special needs, please select either our Futures program (U3 - U7) or our recreation program (U8 and up).

Q: My child is not special needs.  Can I enroll in the TOP Soccer program?

A: No. The TOP Soccer Program is only being offered to build community awareness of this exciting opportunity!  Please select the Futures program (U3 - U7) or our recreation program (U8 and up) and pay the standard registration fee of $160.

Q: How long is registration open?

A: Registration will remain open through February 24th 2024.  Players wishing to register after February 24th will be placed on a waiting list. If a spot opens up a late fee of $35 will be assessed to register your child.  Please register in a timely manner and do not delay, or you may not be placed on a team! 

Q: How old does my child have to be to play soccer?

A: Our Tiny Tykes program is for the youngest players.  For the Spring 2024 season, your child must be born in 2021 to start playing soccer.

Q: When does the season start and end?

A: The Spring season will begin on April 6th and end June 8th, 2024.

Q: What is the schedule?

A: The game schedule will be finalized at the end of March.  Recreational games are played on Saturdays. Game times for players born from 2016 to 2012 will rotate weekly.  For example, in week 1, your child may play at 9 am, week 2- 10:30 am, week 3- 12 pm and week 4- 9 am.  Parents can expect games to be scheduled between 9:00 am and 1:30 pm on Saturdays.  All teams from 2016 to 2012 are expected to hold a team practice at least once a week.   Practice days/times are determined by the head coach and will be communicated once teams are formed.

Q: I am interested in volunteering my time. How do I let EBSC know?

A: When you register, you can opt to volunteer as a Head Coach or an Assistant. We are always looking for more coaches and assistants, so please consider doing so. You can also select if you want more information on Field Maintenance or Snack Stand Duty. For TOP Soccer, special training is required, so please reach out to our TOP Soccer Director with any questions or for more information on that program. Please note that volunteering for TOPS does not fulfill work bond requirements.  Note - all volunteers must be at least 13 years of age.

Coaches Needed: We strongly encourage you to consider registering as a head coach or an assistant. The Club will take steps to assist you if you are starting. Our Club continues to grow in enrollment, and we MUST have additional coaches to meet those needs. Please see our coach's corner for updated information regarding coaching requirements. 

Q: What is the refund policy for the Spring 2024 season?

A: All Refunds will be subjected to a minimum $15 processing fee.  Refund requests between March 22nd and April 5th will be a 50% refund with a $15 processing fee.  No refunds will be issued starting opening day (April 6th, 2024).  Please note that late fees are not refundable. For refund requests, please email the VP of Registration with the following information: Player’s name, DOB, and reason for the refund.  

 

Please allow 5 to 7 business days for your refund to be processed.

 

**** COVID-19 Refund Policy***

In the case of an NJ State or government shutdown during the season, refunds will be adjusted to reflect the number of weeks played.  Otherwise, anything before the start of the season will be a full refund for State or government-mandated shutdowns only.  For additional information regarding our covid-19 policies, please contact:  covid.ebsc@gmail.com
