Please accept your position on a team by registering.
It was an amazing turnout this year to the point that we are going to add a Middle School team! If your son or daughter did not make the JV team and they are in 6th-8th grade, they may be listed on the Co-ed MS team. PAC Soccer was not planning on doing this, but considering the numbers that came out and the desire we see in these kids to play, we feel it is time to implement a Middle School team. Many schools in the area are seeing the necessity to do this as well. I have talked with the director of Coerver Soccer, he is in the beginning process of starting a Middle School “league” for the area Middle School teams. We would most likely join this league, he is anticipating all the games would be local and played on Wednesdays and Fridays. I would expect there to be 10-15 games and the MS team would be given the opportunity to participate in the United Homeschoolers Charity Tournament in Conyers, Ga.
If you are listed as a “Reserve Player”, you will only be charged the PAC fees + $40 in coaching fees, you will participate in all practices and come to the games with the team, but you will not get a uniform however you may be asked to play in a game this year if the coach sees great development. Often times injuries occur and reserve players are asked to join in to help.

-Forms needed:
• Birth Certificate- please provide a copy if you are new. I have all returning players on file
• Athletic Physical- I need proof that your player has had a physical. If your insurance only covers one once a year and you need to wait until Jan, Feb, or Mar. let me know and I will work with you. All players need a clean bill of health to play.
-Shin Guards- all shin guards need to be NOCSAE certified. Check your existing shin guards and make sure the tag can be seen, if you cannot verify that they are certified you will need to get new shin guards. You can purchase these online ex. Soccer.com, or locally at DICKS or Academy Sports.

Policy for Dealing with Issues
-if your player has an issue with another play, please try to deal with the player his/her parent first
-if it cannot be resolved between players, arrange a time to discuss with the coach.
-if the coach cannot handle the situation, he will ask me to step in.
-Please note the 24 hour policy-no one will discuss issues with the coaches following the game. If you feel you need to talk with him, wait 24 hours, then email him to arrange a time to discuss the issue. There will always be a third party present or the meeting will not take place.
-no parent should ever address a referee, opposing team’s coach, players, or fans. Refs can and will make bad calls, parents can and will be obnoxious, however, we have a higher standard and our job is to cheer and encourage our players. The coaches will coach.
