West St. Paul U9-U18 Soccer Registration - REGISTRATION CLOSED
a). A player is considered and processed as a late registration if their registration is received after the team formation & player placement meeting has taken place.
b). At this time teams have been formed and players are generally placed according to team numbers. Requests are very difficult to process when a player is late and are most often not met.
c). It can take up to two weeks to process a late registration so this may mean the start of the season beginning before a player is confirmed on a team.
d). Players cannot attend or participate with any team (practices, games, etc.) until the convener and/or coach have confirmed them on a roster.
e). Players will not be transferred to another district at this time if a spot can be provided on a team within the FCNW district.
